Yes, you're right. Compared to my home country where there's easy access of public transportation, it's very much the opposite here. It's a waste of time waiting for a bus or taxi, and sometimes you'll have to stand when taking a bus. Most taxi drivers don't know where to go, and it's quite expensive. The government really has to work on this. Not everyone can afford to buy or rent cars and not everyone can drive. Qatar is a small country so not everyone should have cars either because it will cause heavy traffic what with the growing population. This is quite a big issue considering the fact that they are hosting World Cup on 2022.
