  • The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) announced the roll-out of two additional lines (Red: King Abdullah Road, and Green: King Abdulaziz Road) of the Riyadh Metro on December 15, 2024. Passengers have access to stations on the two lines from 6am to midnight. Thus, five out of the six metro lines are now operational.

The article from Arabian Business discusses the upcoming partial opening of the Riyadh Metro, specifically the Red and Green lines, scheduled for Sunday, December 15. This development marks a significant step in the metro project, which is part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 to modernize infrastructure and reduce reliance on oil. The Red Line will connect the north and south of Riyadh, while the Green Line will link the east and west, enhancing connectivity across the city. The metro system aims to alleviate traffic congestion, reduce travel times, and promote public transport usage in one of the Middle East's most populous cities. The opening of these lines is part of a phased approach to fully operationalize the metro, which includes six lines in total, with plans to eventually serve over 3.6 million passengers daily.
