All the stations on the Doha Metro have platform screen doors.
The second photo is AI. Third photo looks to be Msheireb station, but it is too blurry to tell if it is real.
The last photo with "UAE Exchange" on the sign is actually a station on the Dubai Metro Red Line. That terminal station was renamed last year.
Please do more due diligence when you post.
Doha Metro was unique construction-speed-wise. They had many more TBMs than usual to speed up construction. They used 21 TBMs for 65km of twin tunneling, which they called a world record. Compare that to the Riyadh Metro, which had only 7 TBMs for about 73km of single bore tunneling.

Ok fair enough. I googled it and that's what came up. I trusted Google. I cant tell what is fake and not fake and i cant tell that that is fake. But what I can tell you with certainty.is that i was there for the world cup and rode that line almost every day for a whole week and that fake picture looks very similar to what i saw, except for the fact that saw platform screen doors. So i can speak from first hand accounts about what i saw. I deleted the 2nd and 4th photos.

And yet you tout the system with full awareness.
Personally I think health and safety should take a back seat to ending slavery - but that's just me being woke.

Yeah I agree with that.
2040's is when realistically we will see the Yonge Subway Extension, Scarborough Extension and Ontario Line open up.
Eglinton LRT extension and Hurontario LRT will probably open up in the 2030s

Eglinton LRT, you know, that one that is basically confirmed to be opening in 2 weeks?
I could maybe see the Yonge extension take until 2040 to open.. but the rest won't be anywhere near that long. Hurontario will likely be 2027.. maybe 2028. Ontario Line is looking like it will be the early 2030's.. I suspect 2033 or 2034. Eglinton West and Scarborough are probably a few years behind that.. maybe 2035/2036.
The OL has basically all it's contracts issued now. TBM launch is in the spring, major excavation for stations is mostly done at this point. From a risk management perspective they are definitely behind, but excavation is generally the riskiest part.

I assume he meant the Eglinton West LRT Extension.
I would certainly hope for 2027.
Tracking later, but still time to catch up a bit.
Scarborough should be ready much sooner than that. There's only three new stations to build.
It is tracking ahead of the O/L

How much sooner, specifically? (hopefully not sooner than the 55 + [7 or 8] additional trains are delivered)

Specifics are a bit early.............its tracking behind, but not 5 years behind (original completion date was 2030); that won't happen.........but 2035 would be rather preposterous.
Which, is nothing new in transit construction in this province, sadly......still.........it should not slip that much and is not tracking that late.
***
On the trains, the plan is to turn 1/2 the service back at Kennedy, so they need 1/2 the trains delivered in order to service the extension.

Interesting. OL is still tracking a full decade of construction to completion? What's the critical component running that far behind?

For public consumption..... you can track certain components by when work should have been completed............ so we know GO LSE service was supposed to return in August '24, it has not yet, and it will not soon. So that's one good measure.
I know more than that, but won't share publicly at this time.
