1.    Some people have demanded that the authorities put up signboards on main roads and internal streets in different parts of the country to help people, especially tourists and visitors, reach their destination easily.
2.    People complain that there is a shortage of petrol stations in Doha and other areas, and have demanded more of them to serve the increasing number of vehicles in the country.
3.    There are more complaints about the small number of distribution points for cooking gas cylinders, especially the Shafaf cylinders, which are safer and lighter than the metals ones. People have demanded that Woqod set up more distribution points, especially in areas outside Doha, to make these cylinders available to everyone.
4.    Some tourist bus passengers have complained about the high ticket price, which they say has reached QR180 per person.
5.    Some people have demanded that the authorities find out why workers are seen idling at roundabouts and at street corners, and said the Ministry of Interior should monitor them closely.
6.    Many people have expressed disappointment over not being allowed to decorate their cars on National Day, which is just two days away, and decoration shops have not been allowed to provide this service yet.
7.    There is talk on social networking sites about Mowasalat asking the Traffic Department at the Ministry of Interior to waive all penalties for traffic violations committed by its drivers. People say Karwa bus drivers disregard traffic rules and cause many accidents as they do not use bus stops properly.
