Mowasalat to build bus station at Asian Town
West End Park, close to the Industrial Area and now renamed as Asian Town, will soon get a mini bus station, a senior official of Mowasalat said yesterday.
The new bus depot will mainly serve the large number of expatriate workers visiting the sprawling facility.
"We are having discussions with a leading commercial outlet (operating in Asian Town), which has agreed to provide space to park a few buses," Nasser Al Khanji, (pictured) executive director for support services at Mowasalat, told this daily yesterday.
The new facility is expected to reduce the pressure on the main bus terminal in Al Ghanim to some extent, he said.
It will benefit people visiting Asian Town, as well as workers based in the Industrial Area who want to catch a bus to other parts of the city.
Al Khanji said Mowasalat was adding new safety features to the Al Ghanim bus station to prevent accidents involving passengers. [More details on The Peninsula]
Geographically, yes. But that's it.
Qatar is ASIAN COUNTRY ALSO!!!!!!
Cool down guys ............... they are giving you a new , clean place .............. use the facility for free ..............
Ohh, another attempt to avoid migrant flocking in to Doha on weekends. Well done Mowasalat, well done.
There is a difference between "China Town" and "Chinese Town". The first is okay, the second is racist discrimination. The same applies to "Asia Town" and "Asian Town'. The first is okay, the latter is racist discrimination. But you can't expect any of the officials to know English! They also get the nationality wrong on my ID card, the driver license, and the car registration. And, although I've complained about this at the Ministry of the Interior, they don't give a damn.
If US can have "china town", Singapore can have "Little India", announcing "Asian town" is appreciation of work by Asians and reflects "Arab generosity". Excellent decision.

Qatar_2015: Disagree with you on the name "Americans in Doha." It may get named "Western Command and Control Center!"
Also streets can be named as Delhi street, Colombo street and Lahore Street as well !!
Soon we can expect a Euro town, Afro town and Americas in Doha :) :) haha
ASIAN TOWN!? HAHAH! Racists xD Just Kidding? can't they name it properly?
WTF.!! Seriously Asian Town!!??
It's a shame that it was renamed Asian Town
