The ministry said that Qatar has plans to invest USD43.62billion to develop the infrastructure of the railway, as well as the development of the railway sector in the country through the development of local Qatari companies, which will service the country and the region as well.
The ministry also said that it is working on improving the country's public bus service and infrastructure , with Qatar allocating USD1.37 billion for the project, which will be worked on within the next five years, and will include increasing the current fleet of 400 buses to include 2000 buses, as well as inauguration of the Doha Metro.
