Hi there. I am looking at moving to Qatar in early 2013, and was wondering what the public transport system was like (if there is one). I shall be working in Finance, and obviously if the Transport is poor / non-existent then I shall need to live close to the office.

Hi bighenry
the public transport in Qatar is not very good. There are buses but its difficult to rely on them especially for work. The only public transport is the taxi service which isnt very good either. my advice get somewhere close to work

It's ok, my advice for taxis is to get a number of an illegal taxi and use them. They are more reliable and especially in the evening. I had a guy but he moved back to India. Maybe ask a colleague at work if they know anyone you could use.

Public transport are not very good.
It's butter for you either to have your own transportation or living close to your working place.
