I too had no difficulties dealing wiht the Airport road closure, hopefully it stays that way for the full 10 to 12 months.
but, with regards to the " take a taxi to work " issue.. I personally believe this was issued due to the fact that the road side parking against the fence is no longer alowed by the authorities doing the road works, as it may cause furthur difficulties for construction vehicles and the like.
now havng said that we all know to well that it would cause a futher strain of the limited amount of parking available to us all now.... hense, ' Take a taxi to work '
well.. don't get me wrong gentlemen , I too will be driving myself to and from.
yes I know we all get a small amount of TA allowance every month, but, we all can account for the fact that it's much easier to deal with the limited parking than it would be to get a Taxi here in Doha. even though some have very dependant drivers to get us there, it's the problem of getting back home in the early AM that causes a problem, not to mention during skool timings when all the drivers and taxis are occupato.
