Riyadh adds 94 trains to expand fleet
The Royal Commission for Riyadh City has announced the signing of contracts to purchase 94 new trains, which will increase the total Riyadh train fleet to 277 trains. This expansion aims to boost the capacity of the public transportation network, especially on the most heavily trafficked routes. For example, the capacity on the main Blue line will increase from 340,000 to 530,000 passengers daily; the Red line will see a 116% increase, reaching 370,000 passengers; and the Yellow line's capacity will grow from 133,000 to 288,000. This step responds to the city’s rapid population and economic growth, which has led to an increase in daily trips. Since the network's launch, it has served around 500 million users, with 300 million on the Riyadh train alone. Additionally, the authority is working to develop roads, corridors, and tunnels to enhance internal mobility. These projects are part of long-term plans to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the city’s transportation system.
