Riyadh Metro Opens Red and Green Lines to Passengers

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City announced the roll-out of two additional Riyadh Metro lines; the Red Line (King Abdullah Road Axis) and the Green Line (King Abdulaziz Road Axis). Passengers can now travel on these two lines from 6:00 AM to midnight, marking the operation of five out of six lines in the Riyadh Metro network.

The Red Line spans 25.1 km, running east to west along King Abdullah Road. It connects major destinations such as King Fahd Sports City, King Saud University, and the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center. The line includes 15 stations and intersects with the Blue Line at STC Station, the Green Line at the Ministry of Education Station, and the Purple Line at Al Hamra Station.

The Green Line extends 13.3 km from King Abdullah Road near the Ministry of Education to the National Museum, serving key government entities like the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of Commerce, as well as various commercial, service, and residential areas. The line has 12 stations, with all but two—Ministry of Finance and National Museum—ready for operation at launch. The Green Line intersects with the Red Line at the Ministry of Education Station and the Blue Line at the National Museum Station.

The Riyadh Metro network will be fully operational soon, with the Orange Line (Medina Road Axis) scheduled to open on January 5, 2025, completing the rollout of all six lines.

Passengers can plan their journeys and purchase tickets through the “Darb” app, available on mobile app stores or at Riyadh Metro stations.
