Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) announced that it has received the 2024 Global Light Rail Awards' "Highly Commended Award" in the "Worldwide Operator of the Year" category, adding another international triumph to its string of achievements.
At the event in London, UK, which was attended by about 500 delegates from over 110 top companies worldwide that specialise in the operation, maintenance, and management of light rail systems, representatives from Qatar Rail's senior management team accepted the award.
There are sixteen categories in the Global Light Rail Awards, the most notable of which is "Worldwide Operator of the Year," for which Qatar Rail placed among the top three contenders.
This recognition demonstrates the company's dedication to provide top-notch, environmentally friendly transport services and bolsters its standing as a top operator of cutting-edge, contemporary railway networks.
