Doha Metro has added two new metrolink routes to its network for Msheireb/Al Bidda and Al Aziziyah stations from Sunday.In a Tweet by Doha Metro & Lusail Tram page Friday, the M108 route will travel between Al Bidda and Msheireb stations, with pick up and drop off points at various locations such as Ezdan Al Rayyan Towers, Banyan Tree Doha, Square Electronics, Saray Musheireb, Four Points by Sheraton, Al Mana & Partners, and Regency Residences, among others.
Marked as M312, this route travels between Al Aziziyah station and Nissan Quick Service, and passes along Hetteen Boys School, Al Andalus School for Boys, Al Hawari Cafeteria, Al Murrah Studio, Footsteps Nursery, Honey Pot Nurser, and Family Medical Polyclinic.
Doha Metro will also resume its metrolink service from Ras Bu Fontas station, the M127 route. Via the Al Wakra Road, it will travel between this station and Al Wakra station, passing along the Doha British School, Al Meera, Souq Al Wakra, and Al Wakra Park.Metrolink is a feeder bus network providing first and last-mile connectivity to Qatar Rail customers within a 2 to 5km radius of Doha Metro stations.
It is learnt that a large number of commuters in Doha have been benefitting from these Metrolink services, offering free-of-charge and convenient rides between metro stations and their pick up/drop off points.Many residents find these feeder buses/vans practical especially for those who have no private cars and rely on other modes of transportation.While receiving a positive response from several train passengers, residents in other areas in Doha expressed optimism that more routes will be introduced in the near future, giving them easy access to metro services.
