RIYADH: The Madinah Bus Network will launch nine new routes on Thursday, raising the total number of operational routes to 15.
The expanded network now covers Madinah’s most densely populated districts and key areas, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
The Madinah Region Development Authority, which oversees the project, confirmed that the 177-strong bus fleet now serves more than 455 main and secondary stops across 639 km of routes.
Since its launch three years ago, the network has improved traffic flow, enhanced public transport quality, and supported environmental sustainability by reducing vehicle emissions.
During peak seasons such as Ramadan and Hajj, continuous shuttle services have eased the movement of worshippers and visitors to and from the Prophet’s Mosque.
The authority said that the buses meet high standards, ensuring comfortable, reliable, and safe service for all users, the SPA reported.
