- More than 500 elevators and escalators will be supplied for the Doha Metro project’s Red Line North, Green Line and two additional major stations.
- Doha’s metro network is a part of the Qatar Integrated Rail Project.
The metro network in Qatar’s capital will consist of four lines: Red, Green, Gold and Blue, with plans for over 100 stations across a total length of more than 200 kilometers. The network will link major locations within the city, including Hamad International Airport, Lusail, West Bay and Education City.
Besides the Doha Metro, the Qatar Integrated Rail Project also includes plans for a light rail transit (LRT) system in Lusail and long-distance freight and high-speed passenger rail lines, as part of the GCC-wide (Gulf Cooperation Council) rail network.
