Mowasalat (Karwa) successfully deployed a number of eco-friendly electrical buses to transport spectators to Al Janoub (Wakrah) Stadium for the Amir Cup final.
The new measure, according
to a statement by Mowasalat, was aimed at enhancing sustainable environmental development and helping Qatar achieve the goals of National Vision 2030.
Mowasalat deployed 115 buses to carry more than 10,000 out of the total 38,678 spectators, while 75 buses ferried over 6,000 students.
Wheelchair facilities were also put in place by Mowasalat in order to ensure accessibility of specially-abled persons. Besides, Mowasalat joined hands with Qatar Rail in the operation of Metro Link feeder buses.
