Hi there,

Karwa taxis are not available when you need them.
The cars are dirty inside and stink.So are most of the drivers due to exceptionally long hours they work and don’t give a damn about the cleanliness of the cab.

They are dangerous drivers. I have used Karwa three times in the past five months I have been in Doha and every time, I had to plead with the driver to slow down.

As a matter of fact I had the misfortune of using a Karwa taxi this morning (having left my car at the hotel last night as I didn’t want to drive after couple of pints) and when I asked the driver to slow down and stick to speed limits, his defense was:
1) I have been driving taxis for 3years and never met with an accident(well......who cares? I am concerned about my safety).
2) If I stick to speed limits, how do I make money?

I have now instructed my apartment reception NEVER to get me a Karwa if I asked for a Cab. My request to all expats is, even if it means double the fare, get the Limo service and at least you will have a peaceful & safe ride.

Mr Director, should you need to verify my statement above, email me at [email protected].

Cheers!
