Riyadh Metro
Riyadh Metro Project
Saudi Arabia's capital is getting ready for a metro system, with the first lines set to open by the end of 2021. The Riyadh metro system is one of the world's largest urban transportation projects, with six lines covering a total distance of 176 km and 85 km, respectively, and metro stations spread throughout the city.
The network will be able to carry 400,000 passengers per day once it is completed, employing 36-meter-long autonomous trains that will transport passengers in three classes: first, family, and single. A parallel bus network will run alongside the metro system. A naming auction for several stations was sponsored by the Riyadh Development Authority. A total of $278 million was raised for the network. The project is expected to cost more than $23 billion in total, and it is expected to increase the percentage of trips in the city that are taken by public transportation from 2% to around 20%.
