Bus Stations
The architectural design of the bus stations simulates the Qatari environment. Each station building features an iconic curved canopy that spans above it, contributing to the brand identity associated with bus stations. The canopy evokes the ripples of sand dunes with the cladding on the underside of the canopy featuring linear baguette elements evoking the beautiful craftsmanship of traditional handmade Qatari objects such as woven baskets.
The stations are built with highest world standards and specifications that reflect the identity of public transit modes in a way that makes it easy for people to recognize, making each station a landmark where it is located. Each station includes ticketing outlets, offices for the operating company employees, a passenger waiting area and other visitor service facilities.
