Free school transport expansion announced
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Education clarified that school transportation as part of the National Free Transportation Project will remain free, and the government will cover its costs. There is a plan to gradually expand the service to include all provinces of the kingdom. The project has been launched on a pilot basis in the southern desert area, involving 120 buses serving 61 schools and approximately 9,000 students. It faces challenges related to the distances between homes and schools, especially in areas with distant population clusters. The ministry is working on developing bus routes and adjusting schedules to ensure students arrive on time and safely return home. Feedback is being collected to improve efficiency before expanding to other regions of the country.
