Doha Metro facilitates passenger movement following temporary closure of the Corniche Road

Some 106,349 passengers received at the seven Doha Metro stations located in the Corniche area

Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) has announced that 106,349 passengers used Doha Metro services at seven stations located in the Corniche area during the temporary road closure from August 6 to 10. Doha Metro stations located in the Corniche area, including the National Museum Station, Souq Waqif, Corniche, Al Bidda, West Bay, and DECC, witnessed a wide turnout from the passengers. At the same time, the metrolink and metroexpress services continued to transport passengers throughout the Corniche area, as these two routes were diverted. The two services temporarily provided alternative routes during the closure period, which helped transport the public around the main destinations in the Corniche area allowing them to reach their destinations easily. This confirms the integral role of the Doha Metro in enhancing the public transport system, providing an effective alternative means of transportation and facilitation of the movement of individuals. In addition, Doha Metro aids the free flow of traffic avoiding congestion, especially during temporary road closures.
