DOHA: The executive director of Mowasalat, Ahmed Al Mansuri, said that the company has set a plan for Eid Al Adha to increase the number of taxis and buses, making the prior technical checkup of all operating vehicles since the demand during the holidays, especially in the night time, is very high.
Al Mansuri added that during the last Eid, the company’s taxis and buses carried about two million passengers. The executive director said that taxis will be available outside malls, near markets and in public areas.
He also said that the number of complaints about these taxis has been reduced thanks to the reviewed distribution plan. According to this new plan, there are more taxis in areas where families live, as well as hotels and commercial centres.
Nevertheless, he added that still the demand is increasing because of the growing population and the building expansion. The company has 1,677 school buses, 250 new buses, and another 45 new buses prepared for disabled people.
The service of Al Ijara Holding will start during Eid with 100 of the total 500 taxis the company will put in service later. The cars will have a blue roof and use the same meter system as Karwa.
