Certainly, they are too expensive, comparing the kinda service they provide.
Doha is a small place, The meter starts at QR.4 and the increments are also too very quick, i.e. meter runs faster than the taxies!!
It increments for very short intervals. As the city is small, for the starting fair of QR.4, the taxi should at least travel for 2 kms, before the meter starts ticking on.
The driving is hilareous, the drivers not friendly very often, the waly-talky sets in the taxies are irritating, drivers prefer to listen to the music/radio of their choice, than the passangers.
Upon all this, if you don't have exact change to pay, then you loose few extra riyals everyday, which adds on to your monthly expenses, as no driver has the change or even if it is available, it is taken for granted that your bill will be rounded off to drivers benefit!
