Doha: Qatar
Rail has announced the launch of the Sunflower program for passengers with
hidden disabilities across the Doha Metro and Lusail Tram networks. The Hidden
Disabilities Sunflower program, a globally recognised initiative, uses a
sunflower as a simple, voluntary way for passengers to share that they have a
hidden disability.
Customer
service teams have undergone specialised training to recognise the Sunflower
symbol and are equipped to assist passengers with hidden disabilities with
empathy, professionalism, and care. By wearing the sunflower, passengers can
signal that they may need more time, clearer communication, or additional
support while travelling through metro stations.
Qatar Rail noted that the initiative builds on the successful introduction of the Best Buddies program last year, which received strong engagement and positive feedback. The program reflects Qatar Rail's commitment to delivering an inclusive and accessible travel experience for all passengers.
