912 Bus Route Riyadh: The Ad Dirah to Skirinah Station Short Line
Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 912 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 912 is the smallest line in this batch. KSA Expats’ January 2025 list gives it as Ad-Dirah to Skirinah Station, and Wikipedia’s Line 1 table lists a Skirinah metro station.
The Royal Commission’s 2024 data holds only 10 stations in two groups, Al A’Sha (6) and Skirinah (4), inside a box 0.4 km north-south by 0.9 km east-west. There is no Ad-Dirah group, so that end comes from KSA Expats.
With one direction listed and so few stations, this guide says only what the sources support and leaves the rest to the Riyadh Bus app.

Stations and Stop Order on the 912
The stations are numbered 302 to 304 and 402 to 404 in Al A’Sha and 501, 502, 601 and 602 in Skirinah. The dataset does not say what those number ranges mean. Al A’Sha also appears on Route 910’s list.
Stage tags are 5 at stage 2, 3 at stage 1 and 2 beyond stage 5.2. The dataset describes the network as planned once fully developed, so a listed station is not proof that it is open.
The stops field lists Ad-Dirah first because KSA Expats gives it as the start, then Al A’Sha and Skirinah Station. That is a grouping and not a confirmed order, since RCRC’s sequence numbers do not form a chain.
Fare and Payment
KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4. On a line this short, a rider is unlikely to use the full two hours on Route 912 alone, so the pass matters mainly for a connection at Skirinah. No source gives a route-specific fare, so confirm the price in the Riyadh Bus app.
How to Ride the 912 Bus
- Look for an Al A’Sha or Skirinah station on the RCRC list, since those are the only two groups.
- Open the Riyadh Bus app and check the direction and next departure for Route 912.
- Pay with your pass or the payment option shown in the app.
- Alight at the Skirinah station, or change to Metro Line 1 if you are continuing by train.
Frequently Asked Questions About Route 912
Where does the 912 bus go?
KSA Expats lists Route 912 as Ad-Dirah to Skirinah Station. The RCRC data has only 10 stations in the Al A’Sha and Skirinah groups, so the Ad-Dirah end comes from that list alone.
Why does the RCRC data show so few stations for Route 912?
The dataset lists 10 stations in two groups inside a box under a kilometre across. It does not explain the small number, so treat it as a partial record and confirm the full route in the app.
Why does the RCRC data list only one direction?
The dataset shows 10 stations, all in direction 1, and does not say whether the route runs a loop or returns the same way. Confirm the return stops in the Riyadh Bus app.
Does Route 912 connect with the metro?
Wikipedia’s Line 1 table lists a Skirinah metro station, matching the end named by KSA Expats. The sources do not describe a walking connection, so check the nearest stop in the app.
Is Route 912 still running?
KSA Expats’ January 2025 list of operating routes includes Route 912. That list is not an official timetable, so confirm current service in the Riyadh Bus app.
How often does the 912 bus run?
None of the sources reviewed publishes an interval for Route 912. Check the Riyadh Bus app for departure times.
Riyadh Public Transport FAQs
How do I pay for a Riyadh bus?
A 2023 Gulf News report on the launch lists three ways: a standard ticket, a Darb bus card, or tapping a contactless card or phone on the reader. It says a SAR 4 ticket is valid for two hours and allows a switch to another bus in that time. Confirm current terms in the app.
Do children or students get a discount on Riyadh buses?
KSA Expats’ Riyadh Metro guide (May 2026) says children aged 6 or younger travel free under the official fare rules and that the Royal Commission lists 50% discounts for eligible public education students aged 6 to 18 and seniors aged 60 and above. Check eligibility and registration in the app.
