Qatar Rail announced that it carried a total of 1.81 million passengers during the Eid al-Fitr holiday period from March 30 to April 7, 2025.

Doha Metro carried the bulk of the traffic, serving 1.7 million passengers, while Lusail Tram carried 110,000 passengers. The company reported that the busiest stations during the festive period included Al Azizia, DECC and Legtaifiya.

Qatar Rail extended its service hours earlier this year to improve passenger demand. Doha Metro now operates from 5am to 1am from Saturday to Thursday and from 9am to 1am on Fridays. Meanwhile, Lusail Tram operates from 5am to 1:30am on weekdays and from 2pm to 1:30am on Fridays.

In a major development, the Lusail Tram’s new Turquoise Line opened in January, marking a significant expansion of the country’s public transport network.

These latest passenger figures highlight the growing reach of Qatar’s integrated rail system and the public’s reliance on its improved services and extended operating hours.
