The Riyals 155 million ($US 42.6 million) deal was signed in New York yesterday in the
presence of Qatari prime minister His Excellency Sheikh Hamad bin
Jassim bin Jabor al-Thani and US transportation secretary Mr Ray
LaHood.

Lusail City is Qatar's largest domestic property development, covering
an area of 38km2 north of the capital Doha. The $US 1.8 billion
four-line light rail network will have 29 stations, seven of them
underground. A fleet of 20 LRVs will be required to operate the 30km
network, which will include a 6.6km underground section. Construction
began in December 2010 and will be completed in the second half of
2015.
