For the Saudi women and more so for the expats who live in Saudi becoz they have been driving all their lives and now since they moved to Saudi, they have to depend on their husbands to take them out even for doing groceries or a trip to the beauty salon.. Poor women.. At least the locals can afford a driver but the expats there are in a worse condition.. I have friends and relatives staying in Saudia who often complain how much they have to pay as taxi fares and sometimes the taxi fare comes up to 25 percent of the total amont they spend in the grocery store.. It is like a 25 to 30 perecent tax if they have to pay for taxi fare back and forth each time they want to buy some groceries..
