I salute Karwa. They are efficient and offer good value for money. I am a western female and I use the bus all the time and travel all the way to Dukhan, day and night according to my work and have been doing this for about a year with no problem. The drivers are really kind and always make sure they can see me. I have just been to the UK and took a bus for 2 miles, the driver was rude, the bus was dirty and I had to stand with someone pressed up against me. The bus was running late and the cost was the equivilent to 45 qr one way. The only safety issue I have here is the men trying to hassle me when I am waiting at the Hamad at night. They should have a proper bus shelter, clearly lit with cctv and regular security patrols. The drivers will not let you be afraid, they are too protective. I understand that the bus is not for lots of people and that's fine, I am just saying that it is not all bad.
