To minimise the usage and the environmental impact of disposable paper tickets, Doha Metro has revised the pricing on its limited use paper tickets for Standard and Goldclub. 

Single journey in a standard class that was earlier priced at QR2 will now cost QR3 and for a day pass that was QR6 will now be QR9. For a single journey in Goldclub, it will be QR15, earlier it was QR10 and for a day pass that cost QR30 will now be QR45. The new rates will be in effect from tomorrow, February 21.

The rates per journey remains unchanged - QR2 and QR10 - if you are using a standard or goldclub travel card. Travel cards, which costs QR 10, can be purchased from Doha Metro Stations or from selected supermarkets and can be topped up as and when required. The daily pass rate also remains same as QR6 if you are using a travel card.

Travel cards can be purchased from Doha Metro Stations.
