Free school transport to expand nationwide
The Ministry of Education has confirmed that the free school transportation project, which was launched on a trial basis in the southern desert, will remain free, with the government covering its costs. There are plans to gradually expand it to include all provinces of the kingdom. The project began on Sunday and currently involves approximately 120 buses serving 61 schools and about 9,000 students, facing challenges related to irregular distances between homes and schools due to the expansive nature of the desert. This has prompted the ministry to explore solutions to improve routes and ensure students arrive on time. The ministry aims to develop the project based on feedback from the pilot phase, with plans for further expansion to the northern and central regions later on.
