Tell us a little bit about yourself…
Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m from the Philippines and I have lived and worked here in Qatar for 12 years.
Why are you using the Metro?
I use Doha Metro mostly after work every day – the nearest station to my office is NMoQ Station. I use Doha Metro to help me reach my home early and enjoy a quiet walk for exercise. The Metro also gives me great access to supermarkets, malls, and other places that I like to go.
Why do you enjoy travelling by Doha Metro?
I love using Doha Metro to travel around the city because it’s very easy there isn’t any hassle such as getting stuck in traffic. It also offers a comfortable journey, it’s convenient to change lines, and the Metro offers free access to Wi-Fi and is well maintained with regards to cleanliness.
What’s the best thing about Doha Metro?
Doha Metro offers a very reasonable fare. It provides a good service. And, it offers a great ambiance.
How does Doha Metro compare to your experience of rail/metro travel in other countries?
As I said before , the fare is very affordable for all and it also seems well controlled.
Do you use your time on the Metro to do anything special?
While traveling I like to listen music, watch some videos and catch up on social media. I also like to video call with my family without any disconnection.
Is there anything that you feel could be improved?
So far, everything seems great. I am looking forward to have a Metro directly to Doha Festival City.
Would you recommend Metro travel to others?
It’s a big… YES!
Has the Metro changed anything about your day/week?
YES! Doha Metro has helped me to escape the stressful traffic every afternoon from work.
Have you ever started a conversation or met anyone interesting while using the Metro?
Yes! I met my colleague Natalie (that’s me, and it was very nice to see a friendly face and have a chat before I changed stations).
