The 'Park and Ride' facility is available near four Doha Metro stations - Lusail, Education City, Al Wakra and Al Qassar, the Ministry of Transport has said.
"'Park and Ride' supports the country’s public transportation network and Doha Metro services for members of the society, visitors and FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 fans," the ministry said in a tweet Saturday. "The service is available at four locations near Doha Metro stations."
As part of this initiative, free parking spaces are provided to passengers who can park their vehicles and avail of Metro services to reach their destinations.
The project is being implemented as part of the ministry's efforts to provide high-quality transportation services and modern parking facilities that are strategically distributed across the country and accessible for everyone easily and affordably. It is aimed at encouraging vehicle owners to use the modern public transportation systems while helping them save time and cost.
The project comes as part of the ministry's Public Bus Infrastructure Programme that has been envisioned to improve services on public roads and at major intersections by achieving smoother traffic flow, less congestion and less carbon emissions while providing a significant enhancement to Qatar’s public transportation network. It supports the country’s public transportation network and Doha Metro services for citizens, residents, visitors, and FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 fans who can make use of public transportation to reach World Cup stadiums.
The Public Bus Infrastructure Programme, implemented by the ministry in co-ordination with the Public Works Authority (Ashghal), also includes the construction of bus depots. Work is under way to establish bus terminals in Lusail, Al Wakra, Education City and the Industrial Area, while one terminal was opened in Al Sudan last year.
