| Text | Return to an agreed mall taxi pickup, allowing time to leave the Canal Floor. Take a local car back to Raffles or Fairmont, or a car to Legtaifiya for a southbound Red Line connection while all services operate. West Bay and central Doha hotels need the final station approach and any Msheireb interchange. If the last usable connection has gone, take a licensed car directly to the hotel; the restaurant’s closing time does not extend train service. |
