It will allow students to travel free of charge to their destination within the city. A fleet of 19 trams will operate on an 11 km-long route, with a capacity of 3,300 passengers\/hour in each direction. Trams will operate at four-minute intervals in both directions on the busiest sections of the network.<\/p>\n<p>Siemens Tram Consortium has awarded building design services to WSP Middle East and Grimshaw Architects.
