The karwa city where the taxi drivers are accommodated is very well maintained and has basketball courts, a big dining hall and a mosque. It is better than any labor accommodation being provided by any company in Qatar.
Secondly the housing is free for the drivers (so you can add 500 QAR at least for the kind of accommodation they are getting) as money saved is money earned.
Lastly I have talked to some taxi drivers on rental of 265 and they have said that they earn 3-4 k per month. Though I agree that the taxi service is not of same level as Dubai, but recently there are 2 companies who have been awarded franchises (one is al million I don't know the name of the other one) by karwa which will increase the number of taxis by another 1000 very soon. So lets hope for the best....
