📖 About Metrolink
Qatar Rail is the state-owned company responsible for the design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of Qatar’s entire rail network. The Doha Metro it owns has 3 lines (Red, Green and Gold), 37 stations and 76 km of operational track, per Wikipedia’s Doha Metro data.
Metrolink is the bus layer of that system: a free feeder network whose routes start and end at metro and tram stations. Because the service is free and designed purely as a connector, its routes are short loops through residential districts near each station.
