Back to School 2025 (2nd edition)
A two-week station activation at Sport City Station on the Doha Metro Gold Line, running daily to 2 September 2025, with retail booths offering promotions on school supplies and interactive children's activities in the late afternoon and evening. The second edition of the format.
- The brief
- Parents and students in Qatar preparing for the new school year, and a metro operator wanting stations used as community spaces.
- The idea
- Qatar Rail turned the Gold Line's Sport City Station into a daily back-to-school market until 2 September, with booths offering school-supply deals and children's activities each afternoon and evening.
- What to borrow
- Hosting seasonal markets inside stations gives a transit brand a reason for families to visit beyond the commute.
