Ferry services instead of Bridge for now
By Optimus_Prime •
Why can't some entrepreneur think of starting a private ferry services from Qatar to Bahrain and U.A.E, this way people can take their cars along with them and eliminates the cost of building a bridge which can be very expensive.
I know focus around here is on developing the airline industry, and there can be many demerits like people may flock to Bahrain or UAE for shopping, but then isn't a healthy competition good anyways.
The other benefit is tourism may increase as people can quickly hop on a sail and see relative without having to wait and seek land approval.
TB he did, he swam from Dukhan to a near by Bahraini Island just off the coast of western Qatar, but technically he was in Bahrain.
TB, it was just a figment of his imagination. He is still there in QL with a different id.
Ferry from Qatar to Bahrain (less than one hour) is a good idea,but from Doha to UAE,take long time.
It could be set up in a very short time
I think this would be a good idea.
Well part of the metro/rail plan is for a long distance line going to Bahrain via the 'new' bridge as well as through Saudi linking up with the UAE.
If I wanted to drive to Bahrain I would be happy to get a ferry, it would be better and still quicker than driving through Saudi. However, for example, I am going to Bahrain for the weekend soon so its all about flying and probably will be!
I'm sure someone claimed they did..... If I remember rightly it was an irksome individual called Fried Unicorn.
Nope tb.
Didn't someone from QL supposedly swim across once?
Yes I agree with your bright idea, ferry as one of Transportation to neighboring countries but what about a bullet train or a Metro as an alternative to road trip.
Who knows in the future, as Qatar is starting to build a local Metro. a chance to expand this project for crossing the countries.
Lets hope for continuous development of Qatar.
by fixing your English before making sweeping statements about the lack of "brain" ! Idiot !
Ferry would be slow and tedious... after traveling at 160kmph nobody would want to travel at 25kmph... on the Sea... to Bahrain & Back
Heehehhe...
Simple answer is they have not think of it at all...
They always follow western countries and don;t have brain of their own..hahaha!
Your suggestion should be taken into consideration but who will tell them....that is big deal!
The main problem is security and immigration / customs facilities
my dear,
they need developments like road,railways,etc
and don't forget enough money they have to make bridges all over qatar.lol
