Shortage of Taxis in Qatar
Why there are less number of taxis in Qatar as compared to UAE, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. If you have no own conveyance, you canot survive here with family. While in other above mentioned countries you are easy and taxi is availble anywhere anytime. Here only in few malls, taxi is available. It is very difficult that you get taxi outside of your house in any living area? How Qatar will meet the requirement of new taxis for coming world cup? The high officials should think about it.
such as fox limo. They are good
Why would you suggest that a fellow man like you, who seeks for his daily bread just like you be threatened?
Please PM Rizks..
His Tuk-Tuk is available 24 x 7 ..
Janneey, as i said before that i want TAXI for tom'w so obviously i called them today to book it...But as always, IT IS UNAVAILABLE and ARE BOOKED...
The situation was much better during the 'orange' taxi days..bring them back!
No Ms. Sonya, you just have to call them ahead of time, the same day you need them.
I need TAXI for tom'w to pick my kid from the school cause my DRIVER (hired) has some personal things to look out for..I called KARWA to book for tom'w...And i got the reply: KARWAS are book for one week...really?
I am in dilemma whether to send my kid to the school or not..I hate to miss it but being no option i have to give my kid a REST for two days...
I've hardly traveled with TAXIS in doha..Though i used a lot when i was in DUBAI...It is true that TAXIS in DOHA are HARDLY available when you actually need them...It is not sure always that you will get THEM when you step out..Taxis in DOHA are not only in SHORTAGE but are UNCERTAIN too...
Thelonius ,,, LOL , it is a good idea indeed
brit, i am afraid i have no other solution, it is just 10 more days
There is a lot of improvement as far as the availability of taxis in Doha is concerned.At times you never see a single taxi and ohter times they are available.
This is an issue. The only problem is that "private drivers" may not be insured in case of serious accident..
So be wary!
I am dealing with a private driver till i get my license
Honestly i pay 40 QR per day while with a taxi it takes around 20, but there are no taxis around.
The roads are already congested and you want more taxis ?
U might be seeing lots of taxis in Doha but it gets worse on weekends when people are flowing in from other areas. Even Karwa drivers charge as they like.
Private taxis are restricted but u can find any one trusted and he can serve u on call whenever needed.
It is way better than b4 and it will get even better. So watch out for taxis everywhere..
I have my own car. But i asked in General. May be now situation is better than before but is not sufficient.
You can't find a single taxi when you want a ride.
But you can find them everywhere when you don't need them.
TAXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
disagree. or at least not anymore!
lately i've seen them everywhere!
they're even breaking the rules (speeding, changing lines without signaling, even fish tailing to pick up passengers!)
donno why, but definitly their behaviour has changed
Why are you crying...Why not buy a car in installment and drive on your own
there will be a modern Qatar railways on 2022.
qatar will be interconnected by train even up to bahrain...not sure if they will push through up to saudi.
indeed the taxi here is minimal thats why you need to own a car.
lots of taxi in garage but no available driver due to visa restriction & cheap salary given.
