Qatar Foundation will shortly unveil its latest addition to its transport network, as the Education City Green Line will soon become operational.

​

The Green Line will connect Education City’s North Campus – which includes the Qatar National Convention Centre, Sidra Medicine, and Qatar Science and Technology Park – with its South Campus, ensuring seamless transportation between the many universities, research institutes, cultural spots and residential areas over the two campuses.

​

 The tram is a sustainable means of transport, using a cutting-edge form of battery-charging technology to power the system with electricity over the 11.5 km route.

​

Test journeys will be taking place over the next few weeks before the Green Line opens to the public.

​

The foundation has sent out a road safety message ahead of the line’s launch, as the tram will soon be frequently crossing the Gharafat/Al Rayyan intersection. 

​

Traffic signals and speed cameras have already been installed, as well as additional roadside barriers. Nonetheless, all drivers and pedestrians are urged to utilize caution while approaching the intersection.
