Doha’s bus system was introduced in 2005, with only two routes initially. It’s run by Mowasalat, and the buses have the same distinct green color as the taxis. Today most of the city is close to a bus route, but coverage is by no means comprehensive. It is mostly used by poorer people who cannot afford their own car, but the buses are new and comfortable. If you happen to be along a route, it is a convenient option. Many stops have air conditioned hatches to escape the heat.
Fare is 2Qrs per ride within Doha, and varies for points outside the city. The main bus station is next to the Gold Souq.
