Doha: Qatar Rail has begun technical tests of the Lusail Tram in Lusail City.
The rail and tram company tweeted this on its official account. As the testing has begun it also urged drivers and pedestrians to abide by traffic signals on the road to ensure their safety.
Once started, Lusail tram is expected to become the main transportation hub for Lusail City, the largest single sustainable development to be undertaken in Qatar.
The 35.4-km long Lusail Tram network connects to the Doha Metro through two interchange stations at Lusail and Legtaifiya. The network includes four lines and 28 stations aboveground and underground.
Lusail tramway is composed of five cars per single unit, with each 33-meter long car to carry over 207 passengers. Each tramway features two classes: common and family class. The cars will be fully low floor to enable easier access for all passengers.
