this is a brilliant idea... because now, drivers will be forced to pick up as many fares in the day as possible....
They can no longer afford to just drive past people standing on the side of the road, as they have a quota to make up.... In the past, they got salaries whether they stopped or not.... and more often than not... they just kept on driving, even when the cab was empty....
On the other side of the coin though, it might promote aggressive driving, as drivers will put lives at risk to make as many drops during the day as possible....
As long as Karwa keep a check on this, the pick up service might finally be worth it for us carless individuals....
And I do agree on the hygiene and route issues.... Karwa do need to make sure that drivers are clean and neat, as well as that they know their way around Qatar....
