About Moovit
Moovit is a public transport navigation app that works in many cities worldwide and has a Doha section for Karwa bus lines run by Mowasalat. Its Doha pages list bus routes with schedules, stops and departure and arrival times, which the app updates in real time. The app shows bus locations on an interactive map and gives step-by-step guidance along a route. Delays, route changes and stop changes are posted as service alerts.

Moovit is an independent app, not the official operator, and its Doha pages describe Karwa bus routes only, so check Doha Metro and tram details in the official Qatar Rail channels. Moovit does not sell Karwa tickets; you still need a Karwa Smart Card or accepted ticket to ride. If information differs, follow the Karwa Journey Planner and announcements at the stop.
