Doha, Qatar: Qatar Rail has announced the extension of the daily timings for the second edition of the Back to School event, organized in collaboration with several commercial partners at the Sport City Station. The extension comes in response to the remarkable public turnout and engagement since the event kicked off on August 19, Qatar Rail said in a press release on Monday.

Under the new schedule, the daily activities of the event will run from 4pm to 9pm throughout the week. Previously, the timings were from 4pm to 8pm (Sunday to Wednesday) and 4pm to 9pm (weekends).

The event, running until September 2, 2025, is part of "The Metro Events” series, held throughout the year at metro stations. The initiative is aligned with the company’s strategy to transform metro stations into vibrant community destinations.

Sales Manager at Qatar Rail Mohammed Ahmed Al Jaidah said: "We are delighted with the strong public turnout with the second edition of the Back-to-School event and the positive feedback we've received since its launch, as we witnessed growing interest in the early-bird bookings for the 365-Day metropass. The launch of this new product directly responds to requests and suggestions from our valued customers, as we always prioritize their needs. We remain committed to continually developing innovative products and services that make travelling on the Doha Metro and Lusail Tram easier, more flexible, and of the best value.”
