It is possible to drive in Kuwait with an internationl driving licence, but once you receive your Civil ID then you need to get a Kuwaiti licence.The process varies depending on a persons nationality and I think its best to check with the traffic department.
Kuwait has an established bus network which is quite comprehensive. However, it doesn't always run on schedule, which is a bit annoying for commuters.You should visit the Kuwait Public Transport Company website for more detailed information on timetables. The site should also tell you where to buy tickets.
