Doha ∙ Qatar Rail can now use Doha Metro travel cards for Metro Link bus journeys. The aim is to make travel on Metro Links, which are feeder buses for metro passengers, easier. Standard and Gold Club card holders can use the service by tapping the card on the bus’s reader while entering the buses. However, paper tickets of the metro will not get this service.
Officials clarified that children above 5 years of age also need to tap the travel card on the bus reader to use the Metro Link service. Metro Link QR Code and Karva Smart Cards implemented in the first phase are also in effect.
Metrolink feeder buses allow free travel for passengers within 2 to 5 km of Doha Metro stations. Passengers within 5 km radius of the station can alight from the metro and board Metro Link buses to reach home free of cost. Thousands of people use the Doha Metro and Metro Link buses every day.
Link buses run Sunday to Wednesday from 5.30am to 11.59pm, Thursdays from 5.30am to 1am, Fridays from 2pm to 1am and Saturdays from 6am to 11.50pm. There are 60 Metro Link routes from Doha Metro stations on the Metro’s Red, Green and Gold lines to various regions.
