Lusail Bus Station will be inaugurated next month, HE the Minister of Transport Jassim Seif Ahmed al-Sulaiti told Gulf Times on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Sila Operation Centre.
“Lusail Bus Station is one of the most beautiful among such facilities in the region and the world. The station has the latest and unique features,” HE the Minister said.
He stressed that Qatar is all set to welcome guests for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 "with its ports and airports".
"The public transport network in the country is set to serve the tournament. The ports will receive big cruise ships while all arrangements have been made with the airports to cater to the transportation needs,” HE the Minister said.


HE al-Sulaiti added that the implementation of good practices in the public transportation sector will continue after the World Cup in line with the vision of the country’s leadership and the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030. “We have crossed the target of converting 25% of public transportation into eco-friendly mode. Public and school transportation will be completely eco-friendly by 2030,” he noted.
The Ministry of Transport (MoT) had recently said the newly built Lusail Bus Station will significantly support fans’ transportation during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
The facility is ready to operate 40 buses every hour, and is equipped with the necessary electric charging equipment for optimal operations, according to the MoT, which released an infographic yesterday explaining the highlights of the bus station.
Located alongside Lusail QNB Metro station on Al Khor Coastal Road, the bus station provides easy access to key landmarks and nearby facilities. It will provide fan transportation services to and from Lusail and Al Bayt stadiums during the tournament and connect them to other public transit modes.
Fans stand to benefit greatly as the station is connected to public transportation modes such as Doha Metro, metrolink services, Lusail Tram, Bus Rapid Transit service and the Park & Ride facility.
