Doha Metro: Complete Guide — Lines, Stations, Fares & Timings (2026)
🚇 Doha Metro — 3 lines · 37 stations · 76 km · flat fare QAR 2
The Doha Metro is Qatar’s driverless metro, run by Qatar Rail (operated by RKH Qitarat). Opened in 2019, it links Lusail, West Bay, the old town and the airport across three colour-coded lines — and it is the backbone that BusUpdate’s Qatar bus coverage feeds into: 58 free Metrolink feeder routes are anchored at its stations. This guide is the network index: every line and every station has its own page.

🚌 Feeders: Metrolink & Metroexpress
Metrolink feeder buses are free and loop from 29 metro stations into the surrounding districts — each station page above lists its routes, and every route has its own BusUpdate page (for example the airport’s 24-hour feeders connect at the HIA bus station). Metroexpress is the free on-demand shared shuttle booked in the Karwa app: it serves 10 metro stations — the six Red Line zone stations are named on their station pages (Qatar University, Legtaifiya, Katara, Al Qassar, DECC, West Bay Qatar Energy) plus two Green Line and two Gold Line stations — and 7 Lusail Tram stations. See the Metroexpress guide.
🚊 Lusail Tram connection
The metro meets the Lusail Tram at Legtaifiya (Red Line) and at Lusail (the tram’s Lusail QNB station). Since June 2026 only the tram’s underground Legtaifiya – Tarfat South section is operating — see the tram network page for the current status of every tram station.
