TAMPERED KARWA METER

Attention: To the Management and higher authorities of MAWASALAT.

SUBJECT: Tampered Meter

Please do something to most of your karwa taxi drivers and units. MOST of your units have been tampered the meter from tariff 0 to 1. What they do is peel off the top cover and stick on something black that will cover the 0 to make it 1 which is absolutely wrong. I’ve observed this cheating since last week and I have some arguments with the driver because I know that their meter was not right.

This morning around 7:10am, I’ve encountered another one with Plate number 438. I told him why his meter was changing fast and he said no problem and changed it into 1 which is obviously 0 again because it’s charging too fast.

Please do immediate action on this because we the passengers were always being ripped off by these cheaters.

I did not understand your post. Would you mind rephrasing it? Did not get the 0 and 1 rip-off thing.

Thanks.

Who cares??? So long as the owners are getting paid. The rest is irrelevant

Sorry DOHA ESTATE & anooj6868 but im not as fortunate as you are (if you really are) to afford a car that's why Im taking karwa... I was being taught by my mother that if you dont have anything nice to say just keep silent but if you're being abused in any other way do some action...

Some old Karwa drivers are experts in ripping off customers and doing fraudulent activities and we haven't seen any action from their management even if we complain. Anyway, I had good experiences taking the Karwa-Al Ijara franchise taxis (blue top) so if you have a chance to choose, go for them. They haven't ripped me off and have courteous drivers because I've heard they are paid better.

You should call and inform Karwa Office. I don't think they are reading QL.
