__PRESS RELEASE RKH Qitarat, the Joint Venture Between RATP Dev
RKH Qitarat, the joint venture between RATP Dev, Keolis (SNCF Group) and Hamad Group, will operate the first Qatar public transport network Doha, 7 December 2017 -- 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. On 7 December 2017, Qatar Rail, the Qatari national public transport operator, awarded RKH Qitarat — the joint venture based on a consortium between RATP Dev and Keolis (49%) and the Qatari company Hamad Group (51%) — the operations and maintenance contract for the new automated metro of Doha, the capital of Qatar with more than two million residents, and a light rail network in Lusail. Lusail is located 15km from Doha’s city centre and is currently being built and, once completed, is expected to house 240,000 residents. PRESS RELEASE PRESS This major urban project is one of the most important for the region as 90% of the Qatari population currently live in Doha and its surrounding suburbs (equivalent to 2.6 million people) and 80% of which are foreign workers. Qatar Rail is currently in charge of building the new integrated urban transport network, which will include both the Doha metro and Lusail light rail.

The State of Qatar, though a developing country, has been witnessing a rapid process of urbanization and development due to its rich natural resources base. Development has resulted in the expansion of its settlements leading to urban sprawl, particularly in Doha capital city. A high level of dependency on vehicular transportation along with sprawl, has led to prevalent congestion and transportation problems. Qatar, faces an unprecedented challenge in meeting the growing travel demand constrained by limited land and mediocre infrastructure. Recently as a result of the award for hosting of the world cup to Qatar, the State is introducing a metro system to both service the world cup as well as address its transportation problems.
