New Bus Routes Launched to Serve Riyadh’s Diplomatic Quarter
Riyadh expands its public transport network with new bus routes linking King Saud University Station to the Diplomatic Quarter.
Riyadh’s public transport system has expanded with new bus routes connecting King Saud University Station to the Diplomatic Quarter, a key district housing embassies and international institutions. The new service operates daily from 6:30 AM to midnight.
Passengers can track schedules and plan their journeys through the Darb public transport app. This initiative is part of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City’s broader efforts to enhance mobility and public transport infrastructure in the Saudi capital.
This expansion follows the December 2024 launch of the Riyadh Metro, a six-line, 176 km network designed to modernize urban transit. Riyadh’s public bus system now includes over 2,860 stops and stations, covering 1,905 km, with a daily passenger capacity of 500,000.
