WEAVE is a project exploring how Doha’s future metro system can help reimagine intermodal transportation in Qatar. It is an integrated ticketing service and a corporate portal provided by Qatar Rail designed to facilitate the transition from car-based to mass transit commuting. WEAVE offers packages targeting different kinds of people living in Qatar, but mainly focuses on professionals who will be using the train for their daily commute. It offers them the opportunity to use their commuting time as paid work time, and at the same time collect points that are then redeemable with reward partners. Users also get the privilege to use Karwa taxi rides to get dropped in the WEAVE drop points, park in WEAVE designated parking spots, and work in the work-friendly WEAVE carriage. Having recognised that there is a clear discontinuity in the transport system, the aim of WEAVE is to try to make this discontinuity as smooth as possible.
