Ferry services instead of Bridge for now
Why can't some entrepreneur think of starting a private ferry services from Qatar to Bahrain and U.A.E, this way people can take their cars along with them and eliminates the cost of building a bridge which can be very expensive.
I know focus around here is on developing the airline industry, and there can be many demerits like people may flock to Bahrain or UAE for shopping, but then isn't a healthy competition good anyways.
The other benefit is tourism may increase as people can quickly hop on a sail and see relative without having to wait and seek land approval.

Yes I agree with your bright ...Yes I agree with your bright idea, ferry as one of Transportation to neighboring countries but what about a bullet train or a Metro as an alternative to road trip.
Who knows in the future, as Qatar is starting to build a local Metro. a chance to expand this project for crossing the countries.
Lets hope for continuous development of Qatar.

Well part of the metro/rail ...Well part of the metro/rail plan is for a long distance line going to Bahrain via the 'new' bridge as well as through Saudi linking up with the UAE.
If I wanted to drive to Bahrain I would be happy to get a ferry, it would be better and still quicker than driving through Saudi. However, for example, I am going to Bahrain for the weekend soon so its all about flying and probably will be!
