Qatar's Public Bus Infrastructure Programme: New Bus Stops and Stations

Ashghal (the Public Works Authority) and Mowasalat (Karwa) have been building new bus stops, bus stations and electric-bus charging under Qatar's Public Bus Infrastructure Programme.

Correction, October 2026: an earlier version of this article presented planned numbers as finished work. The figures below are the published plans; we haven't found a confirmed completion report.

What was planned

• About 2,600 bus stops, the first phase due around October 2022 (The Peninsula).
• Eight bus stations, at Al Sudan, the Industrial Area, Al Wakra, Education City, Lusail, Al Gharrafa, Msheireb and West Bay.
• Electric bus charging at four bus depots, the eight bus stations and 12 Metro stations (ABB).
• 741 electric buses, delivered for the 2022 World Cup and then used on regular routes (Ministry of Transport).

What it means for riders

• More sheltered stops closer to where people live and work.
• Bus stations that link with the Metro.
• Quieter, cleaner electric buses on many routes.
