Al Khor - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?
There is a bus to Doha - remember no lines, so you have got to be fairly aggressive - for the ladies for shopping once a week and for families three times a week. The public bus service to Doha leaves from the community gate. There is an hourly (8am to 10pm) community bus which goes to the local hospital during the day as part of it's route. You generally ask locals for the name and phone number of a 'taxi' (be prepared for no a/c or seat-belts,) otherwise there is only one very under-supplied taxi service and then expensive limo services. No trains. - Feb 2007
