More bus stops with shade needed

More bus stops with shade needed

Doha Socialite
By Doha Socialite

Out of the over 100 Mowasalat bus stops in Qatar, less than five are air-conditioned, it is learnt. Moreover, most bus stops don't even have shades overhead to prevent commuters from the sun.

Passengers usually have a tough time during the summer months, staying away from the scorching heat.

A few passengers are seen taking shelter under trees in a bus stop in Doha. Moreover, the timing information provided at some of these stops are inacurate, making passengers wait longer in the heat.

Don't you think we need more bus stops that are air-conditioned, or at least shaded? What are your thoughts on this?

If they don't want to stand in the hot scorching sun waiting for a bus they would simply buy a car and drive like everyone else. It's not the government's fault that they want to catch a bus.

MM. Reality is hard to digest man. Giving shade is as important as a bus itself.

in order to avoid sunlight better to use black sunglasses and beauty cream to avoid rashes and can travel by walking anywhere like mobile rather then to get hold at one location of bus stop so better option to be adapted

Then you would loose your natural resistance to the hot sun which would effect negatively to our future generations so choice is yours ....strong kids with high sun bearing capacity or humans just like ice cream which melts so quickly .............................. Sat .21.06.2014 , 11.25 hrs
