Karwa always booked or no cabs?

Whenever you call Karwa early morning at 8 am , to book a cab for evening for a cab at 9 pm or 10 pm , they say
" sorry we r booked ". Can we offer you for next day , which is riduculous . Are they booked so much or have no cabs in reality to cater to the Demand ?

sad but true.. if you want to make a booking for a certain day, better to have it booked a day before.. but sometimes, i get lucky when i call them to book for same day, i manage to get one.. but it rarely happens.

Well, I am also one of the patrons of KARWA. And believe me, its really annoying to wait for cab or book for one, especially when you are at a hurry. And the thing is, no cab is available....

When I finally got one, I have managed to shoot a few questions to the cab driver regarding the matter. On his reply, the reason why KARWA does not have enough cab to service their clients or plying the routes of DOHA is because they have too many breakdowns due to the extreme heat. So most of their cab units are all for repair and/or under maintenance...

So, enjoy yourselves booking for a cab or simply flagging down one...

They also have Limousine service....which is easily available.

They seem not too keen on putting the damaged green cars on the road.

So Obviously they have transferred these Karwa drivers to Limousine service.

If one takes the no of green cabs vs the limos it should have be the other way around..ie..limos booked 24x7 and green cabs plenty....

I had that same situation numerous times already. Hope Ramadan would change their attitudes.

I guess that whent they know that nothing else is available then they can go ahead with their take it or leave it attitude...if there were a hell of a lot more cab companies around they would soon change there tune...
