I rode the bus and its not really a nice experience being a woman in a closed airconditioned bus full of men...but hey, I SURVIVED :P

I still ride the bus just for the heck of it...to SEALINE or WAKRA on those double-decker buses...its FUN.

I walked to my destination when its absurd to pay QAR 15-20 riyals FOR PRIVATE TRANSPORT when it'll take me 15-20 minutes to get there.

Don't get me wrong...but I think you should try your advise...and tell me/us how it feels.
