Doha Metro Ticket Price: Fares, Travel Cards and Passes

The Doha Metro ticket price is QR 2 for a single journey in Standard class, and you never pay more than QR 6 in a day. Goldclub costs QR 10 a journey, up to QR 30 a day (Qatar Living). You pay with a travel card or a paper ticket, not cash on board, and the same cards work on the Lusail Tram.

There are three main types of travel cards to choose from.

Journey Fares

The fare structure is simple and affordable.

• A single journey includes changing lines at interchange stations.
• A Day Pass gives unlimited trips that day. On a travel card, you never pay more than the day pass price in one day: after 3 standard trips (QR 6), the rest of the day is free.
• Children under 5 travel free. The same cards work on the Lusail Tram.

How to Recharge Your Card

Keeping your card topped up is easy.

1. Ticket Vending Machines (TVMs): at every metro station.
2. Station ticket offices: staff can top up your card.
3. Qatar Rail app: top up online. Tap the card at a gate or machine afterwards so the new balance is loaded onto it.

Metro Passes for Frequent Travelers

If you use the metro regularly, a pass can offer significant savings. Passes cover the Metro and Lusail Tram and are loaded onto a Standard Travel Card.

Note: These passes are for Standard and Family class. Ask at a Goldclub office about Goldclub options.
