The Riyadh Metro has achieved a historic milestone, serving 100 million passengers in just nine months since its inauguration on December 1, 2024. The metro system, which cost $22.5 billion and comprises six lines, has revolutionized urban mobility in Saudi Arabia’s capital, significantly reducing traffic congestion and enhancing connectivity.
The Blue Line emerged as the most popular route, though specific passenger numbers for it were not detailed in the report. The Red Line carried 17 million passengers, while the Orange Line transported 12 million. The busiest stations—National Museum, King Abdullah Financial Center, and STC—collectively accounted for 29% of total ridership, highlighting their strategic importance in commercial, cultural, and historical districts.
Riyadh Metro has gained recognition for its punctuality and efficiency, integrating seamlessly with the city’s broader public transportation network. Its ability to connect rapidly growing areas and major hubs has made it a preferred choice for commuters, supporting Saudi Arabia’s vision for sustainable urban development.
This rapid adoption underscores the metro’s role in transforming Riyadh’s transport landscape. By providing reliable, high-capacity transit, it not only facilitates economic activity but also aligns with the Kingdom’s goals to reduce carbon emissions and improve quality of life through modern infrastructure.
