Doha Metro on track for 2019 opening

Doha Metro works are advancing as planned to achieve the target date for starting the first phase that involves three lines running by October 2019.
During a corporate strategy meeting, attended by all Qatar Rail employees, the Qatar Rail leadership team discussed the company’s performance targets and a wide range of strategic initiatives it plans to undertake over the next 18 months.
Managing director and chairman of the Executive Committee, Qatar Rail, Abdulla Abdulaziz Al Subaie, said: “Since its inception, Qatar Rail has focused on delivering an extremely large and complex rail programme. We know that this is not a low-risk strategy, however we have been blessed with the resources that allow us to undertake a programme of this scale as part of our national vision 2030 and to set high objectives for ourselves”.
Qatar Rail’s aim is to provide a comfortable and environmentally friendly alternative transport; savings travel time; reducing congestion and road traffic; reducing traffic accidents; reducing pollution and offering improved connectivity.
“We will achieve our goals through implementing effective project controls and governance, strong performance management, efficient and effective asset life cycle management and a discipline that promote organisation-wide culture of commitment and accountability,” said Al Subaie.
