Transport

Carl10-Flicker

Private cars are the mains means of transport in Qatar. If not, taxis are the next best option. Distance and time of travel play an important part of the cost using a taxi. Typically early afternoons are the cheapest with rush hour being the most expensive.

Mowasalat is the green taxi operator-their taxis are referred to as "Karwa". The taxis are basically new air-conditioned cars. All are equipped with GPS navigation systems and the starting rate is about 4 QR.

There are also older orange taxis where the car models are older. They offer cheaper rates starting at 2 QR
There are about six bus routes running for the public bus service, which is very limited.

The public bus services are operated by Mowasalat- bus stops are situated along Doha’s main section and the rate is about 3 QR.
