Qatar Rail, the national public transport operator, has awarded RKH Qitarat the operations and maintenance contract for the Doha automated metro and Lusail light rail networks.
This emblematic contract, for a period of 20 years, is estimated to be worth three billion euros. The network will be launched in 2020.
This is the first public transport network in Qatar and a key part of ‘Qatar Vision 2030’, a strategic plan established by the Qatari government in 2008, which sets the development and growth objectives for the emirate in the coming years.
