Madinah Development Authority to launch 9 new bus routes Thursday

The Madinah Region Development Authority announced the launch of the Madinah Bus Network project tomorrow, May 1, 2025, by operating nine new routes within the public transport project, bringing the total number of routes to 15, covering the most densely populated neighborhoods and areas across the holy city.

The bus fleet includes more than 177 buses, serving users through 455 main and secondary stops distributed across the network's routes, totaling 639 kilometers, the authority said.

It added that this includes six stops on the Prince Muhammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport-Prophet's Mosque route, 33 stations on the Miqa-Haramain High Speed Rail Station route, 52 stations on Al Faisaliyah-Mudhinib route, 29 stations on the Sayyid Al-Shuhada Square-Al Aliyah route, and 37 stations on the Al Qaswa-Khalidiyah route. These routes provide services to users 24 hours a day.

The project, over the three years since its launch, has contributed to streamlining traffic flow on Madinah's main streets and improving the quality of transportation projects, in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. It also contributes to reducing environmental pollution caused by vehicle exhaust fumes.
