The first 2.4 km section of the Education City Tram in Doha / Qatar opened to the public on 24 December 2019. This first circle route – the “Blue line” – has seven stops and serves an extensive education and research complex development area built by the non-profit Qatar Foundation. The complete system will have 11.5 km and 24 stops, including a tunnel section under Al Luqta Street. Completion is expected by 2021. Intermediate at Qatar Foundation 3 multi-storey car parks will allow for parking the car and the use of the new tramway to reach the final destination – P&R at its best. Interchange stops will allow for transfer to Doha Metro’s Green line opened just two weeks earlier, on 10 December 2019, and this link will be of most importance during FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, carrying thousands of football fans to matches at the Education City Stadium.
