160 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Batha to Al Haeer and Al Masani Line

160 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Batha to Al Haeer and Al Masani Line

Life in Saudi Arabia’s January 2025 list describes it as Al Batha to Al-Masani, with landmark stops at Madina Road, Al Iman General Hospital, Abi Hafs bin Shaheen Road and Al Haeer. The Royal Commission’s 2024 station data holds only six stations for the line, all in the Al Haeer group, three in each direction, all tagged stage 2 and all air-conditioned shelters.

KSA Expats’ January 2025 list of operating routes does not include Route 160. Given that and the small dataset, current service is unverified and the Riyadh Bus app is the place to confirm it.

Route 160 Details

Stations and Stop Order on the 160

The Al Haeer stations are numbered 101, 102 and 104 in direction 1 and 201, 203 and 204 in direction 2. Their coordinates sit within a box 1.2 km north-south by 0.8 km east-west, so the dataset covers only a short stretch of the route, not the full journey from Al Batha.

Life in Saudi Arabia’s landmark order runs Al Batha, Madina Road, Al Iman General Hospital, Abi Hafs bin Shaheen Road, Al Haeer, then Al-Masani. Wikipedia’s Metro Line 1 table lists Al Batha and an Al Iman Hospital station, but the sources do not say the bus stops at those metro stations. The stops list in this row therefore uses the older landmarks as orientation only.

With six stations, this is a data gap and not a short route. Any stops before Al Haeer or after it come from the older listing and should be checked in the app.

Fare and Payment

KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4, which is the only fare figure in the sources reviewed. No source gives a Route 160 interval or timetable, and the RCRC file has no departure times, so the Riyadh Bus app is the only way to see when the next bus leaves.

How to Ride the 160 Bus

1. Start at an Al Batha stop, or at one of the Al Haeer stations if you are already in that district.
2. Open the Riyadh Bus app and check that Route 160 is running, given it is missing from KSA Expats’ January 2025 list.
3. Pay with your pass or the payment option shown in the app.
4. Alight at the Al Haeer station nearest you, or confirm in the app how far the route continues towards Al-Masani.

Frequently Asked Questions About Route 160

Where does the 160 bus go?
Life in Saudi Arabia lists Route 160 as Al Batha to Al-Masani via Madina Road, Al Iman General Hospital and Al Haeer. The RCRC data only lists six stations in the Al Haeer group, so the rest is from that older list.

Why does the RCRC data show so few stations for Route 160?
The dataset lists six air-conditioned stations, all in Al Haeer and all tagged stage 2. It does not say why the route is so short in the data, so treat it as a partial record and confirm the full route in the app.

Is Route 160 still running?
Unconfirmed. Life in Saudi Arabia lists it in January 2025, but KSA Expats’ January 2025 list of operating routes does not. Check the Riyadh Bus app for the current status.

Does Route 160 serve Al Iman General Hospital?
Life in Saudi Arabia names it as a landmark on the older pattern. The RCRC data does not list a hospital stop for this line, so check the nearest station in the app before you rely on it.

How often does the 160 bus run?
None of the sources reviewed publishes an interval for Route 160. Life in Saudi Arabia’s older list gives none for it. Check the Riyadh Bus app for departure times.

How much does the 160 bus cost?
KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4 as of January 2025. It is not a Route 160 price, so confirm the fare in the Riyadh Bus app before you travel.

Riyadh Public Transport FAQs

Is a 2-hour pass enough for a bus-plus-metro trip?
KSA Expats says the 2-hour pass covers bus and metro rides within two hours of activation. Whether a particular Route 160 connection fits depends on waiting time, so check the timing in the Riyadh Bus app.

How do I find out about route changes?
Riyadh Public Transport posts route changes on X, and the Royal Commission’s Riyadh Bus app shows live routes. A May 2025 post announcing a change to Route 7 is an example, so check both for Route 160.

Data notes: station lists from the RCRC Open Data Portal (2024 dataset describing the network as planned once fully developed); route names and older stop patterns from Edarabia, KSA Expats (January 2025) and Life in Saudi Arabia (January 2025). Metro station names from Wikipedia’s Line 1 table. Route 160 is not in KSA Expats’ January 2025 list, and the RCRC data covers only six stations, so current service is unverified.
