The Program consists of 8 bus stations (Al Sudan, Msheireb, Al Gharrafa, Lusail, Al Wakra, Education City, Industrial Area, and West Bay Central), and 4 bus depots in Lusail, the New Industrial Area, Al Wakra, and Al Rayyan. All these facilities are supported with over 650 charging stations for e-bus operations.
The Program also includes 4 Park & Ride parking locations in Al Qassar, Al Wakra, Lusail, and Education City, in service of public transit users.
