📖 About Route L511

The L511 runs between Industrial Area Bus Station and Industrial Area (via Street 590) via Street 590. It is part of the network Mowasalat rebuilt in June 2022 under the Sila integrated transport programme, when Doha’s buses were re-based to the city’s modern bus stations (Al Sudan, Al Gharrafa, Industrial Area, Msheireb, West Bay, Education City, Lusail and Al Wakra). Karwa services run on published headway patterns — a bus every so many minutes — rather than a minute-by-minute public timetable.

🎟️ Fares & Payment

Fares are distance-based. Mowasalat does not publish an open fare table, so the figures here are the widely reported consensus (Expat Focus, TicketsToDo, hotel guides): about QAR 2.50-3 for short trips within Doha, QAR 4-9 for longer and out-of-city journeys, with QAR 9 the maximum (the Abu Samra border fare). Confirm the exact fare for your trip in the Karwa Journey Planner app before you travel.

Payment is by Karwa Smart Card only — Karwa buses do not take cash, and boarding without a valid card carries a QAR 10 penalty fare. The cards are: Classic (QAR 30, rechargeable), Limited (QAR 10, two journeys within 24 hours) and Unlimited (QAR 20, 24 hours). Buy and top up at bus stations and authorised outlets.

⏰ Service Pattern

Frequency: every 30 minutes. Hours: about 4:00 AM to 12:00 midnight, daily (Mowasalat Routes Guide). Qatar publishes no open timetable feed, so this page gives the official frequency pattern from Mowasalat’s Routes Guide rather than a fabricated minute-by-minute timetable. For today’s exact departures, use the Karwa Journey Planner app or Sila (sila.qa — the Ministry of Transport’s integrated journey planner).
