New taxis to hit the road next month
By timebandit •
The firm ‘Al Million’ which has won the bid to operate private taxis in the country will launch 300 vehicles next month in the first phase, says a report in the local Arabic daily Al-Sharq.
Unlike Karwa taxis these vehicles will be maroon on the top and will display the brand name Million prominently on both sides. All administrative matters including the central control room will be managed by the firm while the Qatar transport company Mowasalat will monitor its functioning to ensure its compliance with the set terms and conditions.
In the second phase the firm will launch 200 more vehicles as stipulated in the five-year contract signed with Mowasalat.

Todays hard but slow paced work will benefit our Grand children.
Well...the name is al Million...so ...:P
what about the charge ..still same initial price? or respective deduction is there..
Al Million...really! Rofl.
Victory. The Metro is coming within the next decade!
MIMH, yes I was in Picasso restaurant the other day and saw three Qataris in the traditional dress all sitting on different tables and downing the forbidden drinks. Must be hard for them that they can't even drink in a Pub in their own country!
All millionaires will work as Drivers or the passenger will become milliaonaire?
On serious note....Karwa sucks,
Qatar needs good quality public transport.
Qataris won't even use a taxi let alone drive one. Normally I wouldn't care but when I see them drinking in the hotels and then getting in their Land Cruisers they are a danger to everyone else.
Yes Fathimah and as long as its doesn't cost me a Million to ride one of those taxi's bring it on..:)
And drive with better skill..then bring on The Million!
I think all the driving jobs should be Qatarised in the new company just like in Oman!
Great News!
But then again, More Cars on the Road, More Traffic Jams, More Frustration..... :(
Hope to be different than Karwa
-------------------
private taxi means what? are they only for hotels or company or for public transport also?
Will they hit the road or just other cars?
for me, its a good news :)
Its gona be good , better systems in place, free wifi in the cab, they will sms the drivers mobile once booked..etc
Timebandit your thread is readable and the other copy and paste attempt the other person tried is not. So I say delete the other thread and leave this one. Now C&P is an art.
Ok back to the topic. Cant wait to try the taxi's out Maroon in colour I guess is the of Qatar.

Yey! finally! a little competition is not that bad though... yeah?
Wrong decision. How do you dare not to open a thread?
