Karwa Taxis for wheelchair users
In an era where inclusivity and accessibility are becoming paramount, transportation services must evolve to cater to the diverse needs of all individuals, including those with mobility challenges.

The Taxi Stations

Good to know
Use landmarks not Street names
Navigating urban areas can be challenging, especially for wheelchair users who may prefer routes that avoid obstacles and are more accessible. Karwa taxi drivers, who possess extensive knowledge of local areas, can be particularly effective in using landmarks for navigation. Wheelchair users can guide drivers by referring to well-known landmarks instead of street names, which might be easier to recognize and describe. This method of navigation can simplify the journey, ensuring that routes are taken that are most suitable for the passenger’s needs.
Community Engagement and Feedback
The Doha Metro actively engages with the community, including organizations representing people with disabilities. Through regular feedback sessions and consultations, the Metro authorities gain valuable insights into the needs and challenges faced by wheelchair users. This collaborative approach ensures continuous improvement, with the system evolving to meet the highest standards of accessibility.
