The Doha Metro is a new state of the art, automated rail network located in the city of Doha. The metro development is a part of Qatar’s National Vision 2030. Doha metro is the backbone of Qatar’s integrated public transport system to promote the use of public transport system in the country. Doha metro is basically an underground metro. The metro system has two phases. The first phase involved the construction of 3 lines—Red, Gold and Green with 37 stations. The first phase was completed in year 2020 and opened to public. The future phases involve the construction of an additional line and expansion of existing ones. In an architectural sense, the stations signify the heritage of the country with vaulted spaces design which were inspired by traditional Bedouin tents. The largest station, Msheireb falls at the heart of the Doha Metro.
