Qatar Rail woos 'staff' with yearly travel plan

As part of its initiatives to foster close collaboration with the corporate sector, Qatar Rail is offering the Corporate Yearly Pass Programme that provides comprehensive travel solutions and services to corporate staff, leveraging the networks of Doha Metro and Lusail Tram.
Mohammed Ahmed al-Jaidah, acting sales manager at Qatar Rail, told Gulf Times in an interview that the programme offers exclusive prices and benefits for employees' transportation through the metro and tram systems.
This initiative aims to promote the use of cost-effective means of transportation for businesses and companies while supporting sustainability efforts and environmental preservation.
Al-Jaidah said that interested companies should have around 100 employees or more to qualify for the programme's benefits.
“Providing sustainable and cost-effective transport services for employees is not always easy for companies. The Doha Metro and Lusail Tram networks provide an ideal solution for optimising transportation costs. We are glad to see key industry leaders and organisations leverage our networks, benefiting from a world-class and reliable transport service for their employees. We look forward to expanding our portfolio to a wider corporate customer base in Qatar, and ultimately inspiring change in the way people travel”, he said.
Prominent organisations belonging to the oil and gas, hospitality, leisure and entertainment, and pharmaceutical industries have embraced the programme and are benefiting from its services, according to al-Jaidah.
Currently, over 2,000 employees are reaping the rewards of the programme, enjoying exclusive B2B pricing and unlimited access to the Doha Metro and Lusail Tram Networks. "We are hoping to influence and inspire more major entities to join this programme.”
The Corporate Yearly Pass programme provides unlimited access to the Doha Metro & Lusail Tram networks, 365 days a year and is complimented by the first and last-mile services of metroexpress and metrolink.
