Saudi Arabia launched the first phase of the Riyadh Metro project for the public on Sunday (December 1), a major milestone for the city's transit system.
As part of the Saudi vision 2030, the Riyadh Metro aims to enhance daily travel and quality of life by covering 176 kilometers with six lines and 85 stations.
Connecting densely populated areas with the King Khalid International Airport and King Abdullah Financial District, in addition to commercial, educational and medical centers, the Riyadh Metro will be served by 190 fully automated trains that can transport up to 3.6 million passengers each day.
The first phase of the project includes the initial launch of three lines. The second phase of the project launching another 2 lines is expected to take place on December 15, 2024. The last line will be launched on January 5, 2025.
The metro's launch is expected to ease traffic and cut carbon emissions. It also aims to boost economic activities by making travel easier for both residents and visitors.
