The Taxi Stations

Seamless Station Access

Taking a Karwa Taxi from one of the taxi stations at malls in Qatar is an excellent choice for passengers with low vision. The strategic location of these stations and safe and comfortable waiting environments, enhanced security, convenience for shopping and leisure, and reliable service all contribute to a positive travel experience. By leveraging these benefits, passengers with low vision can enjoy greater mobility and independence, enhancing their overall quality of life in Qatar.

Helpful drivers

While not all drivers of Karwa Taxis undergo comprehensive training that includes sensitivity training for assisting passengers with disabilities, including low vision, they are always willing to help. Please inform them that you require verbal descriptions of the surroundings and assistance with navigating unfamiliar areas. The drivers are compassionate, making the travel experience more pleasant and less stressful for passengers with low vision.

Booking & Assistance

GPS and App-Based Booking System

The Karwa app for Android (here) or iOS (here) features the integration of a GPS and app-based booking system. The Karwa Taxi app is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring voice command capabilities and compatibility with screen readers. This allows passengers with low vision to book rides independently, receive real-time updates about their taxi’s location, and access details about the driver and vehicle, enhancing their confidence and autonomy.

Dedicated Service Center

Contacting Karwa’s customer service center by phone at (+974) 44 58 88 88 is a highly effective choice for travelers with low vision in Qatar. The ease of use, and instant communication make calling the service center ideal for addressing transportation needs. By leveraging this service, Karwa ensures that people with vision challenges receive timely, efficient, and personalized support, enhancing their overall experience and mobility.

Use landmarks not Street names

Navigating urban areas can be challenging, especially for people with visual challenges 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. Passengers 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

Karwa 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 travelers with low vision. This collaborative approach ensures continuous improvement, with the system evolving to meet the highest standards of accessibility.
