Doha Bus Route Changes: How to Keep Up, and the Network Today
Where to check for Doha bus route changes, and the current L, T, R and M route network.
Karwa adds, changes and renumbers bus routes from time to time. Here's how to check that your route still runs the way you expect, and a snapshot of the network today.
Correction, October 2026: an earlier version of this article listed route changes for 2026 that we couldn't confirm from Mowasalat or Qatar Rail. We've removed them.
How to check for changes
- Karwa journey planner app: the most up-to-date routes and live buses.
- Mowasalat (Karwa) announcements on its website and social media.
- Qatar Rail for Metrolink feeder bus changes, which follow Metro station openings and timetable changes.
- At the stop: check the route number and destination on the front of the bus.
