Riyadh Metro is on the move, literally!

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) announced the operation of two more lines — the Red Line (Line 2) and the Green Line (Line 5) — bringing the metro network closer to full functionality. With this milestone, five out of the six planned lines are now operational.

Passengers can hop on the Red and Green Lines starting daily at 6:00 a.m., with services running until midnight

The Red Line spans 25.1 km, connecting the city’s east and west via King Abdullah Road. It links key spots like King Saud University, King Fahd Sports City, and the Riyadh International Convention Center. The line intersects with other metro lines at major stations, offering seamless travel options across the city.

The Green Line stretches 13.3 km and serves prominent government offices and commercial areas

While 12 stations along this route are operational, two — the Ministry of Finance and National Museum stations — are set to open later. This line also connects with the Red and Blue Lines for added convenience.
