Lusail tram stations are characterized by designs inspired by the Qatari heritage and traditional architectural elements, where the heritage colors and decorations were combined into the design of the stations, in addition to providing modern facilities for passengers such as customer service offices, ticket purchase devices, screens to display flight information, toilets, places of prayer, and various commercial spaces.

The design of the Lusail tram stations of the Qatari heritage elements and the historical heritage of the State of Qatar were inspired, where the design of the stations was developed taking into account three basic elements, which are the colors inspired by the manufacture of manual heritage fabrics and colored glass used in heritage homes, and the patterns of internal and external decorations in old buildings and these decorations were combined into floors as well as the internal walls of the stations along the network.
The Lusail tram stations include public service facilities during their trips, and they are fully air -conditioned. Each station includes a customer service office, ticket machines and screens to display service developments and immediate information on trips.

The stations are also equipped with surveillance cameras in public places, and equipped with a first aid room in order to preserve the safety and security of passengers.

Lusail tram tram
Likewise, the design of a Lusail tram train is inspired by the shape of the “bearing”, which is the traditional Qatari sailboat that was used in pearl hunting. The concept of design focused on the sea represented in pearl hunting using the bearing, to draw from it the elements of stillness, calm and sophistication.
Within the endeavors of the Rail company to provide an integrated transportation experience between all its networks, passengers can move between the Lusail and Doha metro network using one trips card. Passengers can use the same Doha Metro flight card to move on the Lusail tram and switch to the Doha Metro Network smoothly without additional fees, through a drop -off station, which is the switching station between the two networks, and the passengers must ensure that the card passes the reader in the tram when going up to the tram and descending from it to avoid paying additional fees.
