RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s capital is set to enhance public transportation with a significant expansion of the Riyadh Metro, involving an investment of approximately 5.5 billion Saudi Riyals. This initiative aims to improve travel facilities for residents and visitors alike.

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City announced that the expansion will increase the current fleet of metro trains from 183 to accommodate the growing demand for efficient public transport. This move is part of a broader strategy to modernize the city’s infrastructure and promote sustainable urban mobility.

This expansion is expected to alleviate traffic congestion in Riyadh, making commuting more convenient and environmentally friendly. It aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals, which emphasize the importance of developing a robust public transport system to support economic growth and improve the quality of life for citizens.

Future developments will include detailed planning sessions and community consultations to ensure the project meets the needs of the public. The Royal Commission is committed to transparency and will provide updates as the project progresses.
