DOHA Mowasalat, the sole public transport company of Qatar, will supply 40 buses to Eritrea, in 2010.

An agreement to this effect was signed on Monday by Mowasalat Chairman Jassem Saif Ahmed al Sulaiti and the Eritrean Ambassador to Qatar HE Syed Ali Ibrahim Ahmed. The buses, including luxury coaches, will be delivered to Eritrea within six months or by the end of the year.

Mowasalat will also give special training to drivers and technicians to manage and maintain the Karwa buses. Talking to mediapersons, Sulaiti said, “We have great pleasure in supporting Eritrea’s public transport network.

The cooperation in this sector will go a long way in strengthening ties between the two countries.

We hope Mowasalat can supply more buses to Eritrea in the near future.” “As a public transport network, Mowasalat has earned enough popularity in the MENA region.

The quality, environment-friendly approach and its technical advancements have always kept the company abreast with international standards,” Ahmed said.

During his recent visit to Qatar, Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki had undertaken a tour of Karwa city.

Sulaiti said, “The Eritrean government signed this agreement with Mowasalat after a detailed study about our technology and quality of buses. They are very satisfied with our environment-friendly buses and internationally acclaimed technology”.

When asked about Mowasalat’s move to interlink bus services to other GCC countries, Sulaiti said, “Mowasalat has enough strength and capability to start the services to other GCC countries.

However, as the laws and regulations of other countries are different, we cannot give a specific date or time when it will be started”.

He said that as part of providing better facilities to commuters, Mowasalat will open more air-conditioned bus shelters across Doha before summer. Waleed Raslan Alabdulla, deputy general manager of Mowasalat also attended the function. Source: (Qatar Tribune)
