Riyadh Metro Begins Partial Operations Today

Translate In Arabic

Riyadh: The Riyadh Metro officially commenced its partial operations today, November 27, introducing a state-of-the-art driverless train system designed to enhance urban transportation in the capital. The initial phase features service on three key routes, connecting major areas of the city. This launch aims to provide residents with a convenient and efficient mode of transport, easing the burden of traffic congestion. In an effort to maintain affordability, adult fares range from four to forty riyals, while children under six can ride for free. The administration is committed to making public transport accessible to all, encouraging greater use among residents. As part of the broader expansion plan, additional routes are expected to open by mid-December, further enhancing connectivity across the city. The Riyadh Metro project is a significant step in Saudi Arabia's initiative to modernize its public transport infrastructure and improve the overall quality of life for its citizens.
