To ease Traffic Congestions - Carpooling

To ease Traffic Congestions in Qatar - Carpooling has to be legalized.

Folks working in same company should coordinate with colleagues for carpooling, which will ease the stress of driving also.

The same was implemented in dubai too, and i personally feel there was bit of difference in traffic congestions.

What you say guys.

i dont think it is offense or ego issue to give free carlift or pick up colleagues on the way.

Here's a good way to ease congestion - charge people more money for using the roads, and then provide a train:

"More Salik gates may be installed on Dubai roads in a bid to get more people to use the Dubai Metro, Mattar Al Tayer, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Transport at the Roads Transport Authority (RTA) said at a media briefing after the inauguration of the Metro, Wednesday night."

Since they charge people money to drive on the road in Dubai, it's only a matter of time before they do the same in Doha.

Doha is too small to get stressed out of driving even if there are congestions, which are very short..cannot be compared with Dubai...

People in Doha don't know the meaning of traffic jams or commuting.

They think spending 45 minutes driving to work is congestion...

Weak :p

is stopping 2 times on the ramada lights (5-10 min wait) is the big deal? the road under construction in ras abou abbad? or the old airport road?

franckly i never feel there is traffic jam in doha.

Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. 14% of people know that.

I didn't move to a country with cheap petrol and short travel distances only to have to SHARE my car.

Next thing you'll be telling me to catch a bus, or walk, or some other crazy idea.

Perhaps we should all ride bicycles?
