WAITING SHED AT THE BUS STOPS....WHERE ARE THEY???

This is regarding the bus stops all over Doha. Not once that i've seen it friendly enough for our fellow men to avail of little shade. Yes! I'm writing this on behalf of those people who are unfortunate enough to drive their own vehicle and doesn't have the luxury of hiring a cab (which is scarcely available!). So they end up falling in line to catch a bus (under the extreme heat! well, thats before the weather changed). But despite the coolness of air nowadays, I hope to call the attention of whoever is the concerned party, before the heat shoots up again, to PLEASE SET-UP OR INSTALL A WAITING SHED AT THE BUS STOPS. It's so nice to hear that we give importance to our fellowmen. They do make contributions also to this country, I'm sure! Needless to say, the place where I came from might be poor, yet, they are humane enough to consider the tiny woes of our people by at least putting some cozy and friendly SHADES at Jeepneys or Bus Stops.....
So whoever of you out there who could extend a little help to solve this issue, I challenge you to reach out a helping thought on this.
Bless you all!

im also wondering why they put bus stops without the waiting shed...

 

They should also have to considered those people standing and waiting under the sun for 10 to 15 minutes.

 

Wish that karwa will see this situation & put up some shades on their bus tops...

Thanks for the info guyz!

UAE is planning to install 815 or A/C Bus-shelters.....

So maybe after they install & everything is found satisfactory we too could have it maybe in 5 to 10yrs.

Solar powered Airconditioned Bus-Stop which can be installed in a day:

Jeepneys have regular jeepney stops, I travelled a lot with jeepnies I have never saw such a thing. In fact I travelled with all transport possibilities and never yet stopped at a stop anywhere. lol
