Getting around Riyadh is easier than ever since the new public transport network opened.
Riyadh Metro
Six color-coded lines cover the city's main corridors with 80+ stations — the Blue Line runs the Olaya-Batha spine and the Yellow Line serves King Khalid Airport. Tickets via the Darb app at affordable fares.
Buses, Apps, and Driving
A modern bus network complements the metro using the same Darb card. Uber and Careem are abundant, and car rental works well for out-of-town trips — just avoid rush hours (7-9 AM, 4-7 PM) on the ring roads.
Airport
King Khalid International is ~35 minutes north of the center, connected by the Yellow metro line, taxis, and apps.
