946 Bus Route Riyadh: King Fahad Sports City to Al Nadwah   Dear All, here are the details about the 946 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 946 is a west-east line in far east Riyadh and, with 54 stations, the largest single route in this batch. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as King Fahad Sport City to Al-Nadwah, and Wikipedia's Riyadh Metro page names King Fahd Sports City as one end of the Red Line. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 54 stations in seven groups: Al Nadwah (18), Al Harith bin Abdullah (14), Al-Maizaliyah (9), Khurais (4), Mohammed Bin Al Ahmar (4), Refaah Bin Aous (3) and Al Turath (2). The sports city is not a group in the dataset, so that end comes from KSA Expats. KSA Expats names Al-Nadwah as the destination, but the dataset has three groups beyond it. That is left unresolved below. One direction is listed.   Route 946 Details Detail Info Bus number 946 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station datas…

943 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Hamra Station to Ishbiliyah Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 943 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 943 is a short neighbourhood line in north-east Riyadh.

The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 23 stations in eight groups, and Abdullah Bin Qays has 11 of them. Antakia and Mohammed Al Anbari have 3 each, Al Waraq 2, and Al-Bahar Al Mait, Al Ahmadi Port, Al Qariya and Ishbiliyah one each. The dataset has an Ishbiliyah station but no Al Hamra group, so the start comes from KSA Expats. One direction is listed.   Route 943 Details Detail Info Bus number 943 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs the other way or as a loop) Main starting point Al Hamra Stati…

941 Bus Route Riyadh: The Khalid Bin Alwaleed Terminal to Al Quds Line   Dear All, here are the details about the | Route 941 is a short line in east Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Khalid Bin Alwaleed Terminal to Al-Quds, the same terminal that anchors Route 430 in that list and is a terminal-type station in Route 10's data. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 21 stations in five groups: Al-Quds (12), Eastern Ring (4), Al-Qitar (2), Saeed Bin Al Aas (2) and King Faisal (1). Al-Quds is the largest group, which fits the destination KSA Expats names. Life in Saudi Arabia's older Route 10 listing also names Al Quds District. There is no terminal-type station in this line's data, so the terminal comes from KSA Expats. One direction is listed.   Route 941 Details Detail Info Bus number 941 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs the other way or as a loop…

940 Bus Route Riyadh: The Khurais Road Station to Ar Rawdah Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 940 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 940 is a neighbourhood line in east Riyadh.

The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 32 stations in five groups, and Hafsa Bint Omar dominates with 25 of them. Abdulrahman Al Nasser has 4, and Ibn Al Talaa, Ar-Rawdah and Saybawiyyah have one each. The dataset has no Khurais Road group, so that end comes from KSA Expats. One direction is listed, so the dataset cannot show how the bus returns.   Route 940 Details Detail Info Bus number 940 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs the other way or as a loop) Main starting point Khurais Rd.

966 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Kharj Terminal to New Industrial City Line Dear All, here are the details about the 966 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 966 is the second of two lines that KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives as Al Kharj Terminal to New Industrial City, after Route 965. What sets it apart is in the Royal Commission's 2024 data. Route 966 has 21 stations, all in a group named New Industrial City, spread over a box 2.3 km north-south by 4.0 km east-west, wider than Route 965's. Its nearest station is 4.1 km from the Al Kharj terminal-type station in Route 11's data, further out than Route 965's 3.0 km.

965 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Kharj Terminal to New Industrial City Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 965 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 965 is one of two lines that KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives as Al Kharj Terminal to New Industrial City; the other is Route 966. The two share their end points in that list, so the RCRC data is the only way to tell them apart. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 22 stations for Route 965, all in a single group named New Industrial City and all tagged stage 2. The nearest is 3.0 km from the Al Kharj terminal-type station in Route 11's data. Route 17's older listing also ends at an Industrial City.

964 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Kharj Terminal to Al Iskan Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 964 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 964 is a very local line at the south-eastern end of the Route 11 BRT corridor. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Al Kharj Terminal to Al-Iskan, and Time Out Riyadh describes BRT 11 as the extension of King Abdulaziz Road to Al Iskan District. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 37 stations in five groups: Hassan Bin Al Nouman (12), Al-Abbas Al Ghanwai (8), Al-Iskan (8), Ibn-'Amir (5) and Zuhair Bin Qays (4). The nearest of them, Al-Iskan 505, is 0.26 km from the Al Kharj terminal-type station in Route 11's data. That closeness makes this a connector for the BRT line's south-eastern terminal, though the sources do not describe it that way. One direction is listed.   Route 964 Details Detail Info Bus number 964 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether…

963 Bus Route Riyadh: The Ali Ibn Abi Talib Terminal to Al Aziziyah Station Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 963 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 963 is a north-south neighbourhood line in south-east Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Ali Ibn Abi Talib Terminal to Al Azizia Station, and Wikipedia's Line 1 table lists an Al Aziziah metro station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 41 stations in eight groups, and the Aziziyah name appears in two spellings that together account for 19 of them: Al-Aziziyah (10) and Al-'Aziziyah (9). An-Nasar has 8, Nahawand 7, and Al Shati, Al Hadida, Al Imam and Sufian Bin Owf share the rest. The dataset has no terminal-type station on this line, though Route 11's data has a terminal-type Ali Ibn Abi Talib A station.

983 Bus Route Riyadh: The Dahrat Al Badeah to West Al Uraija Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 983 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 983 is a north-east to south-west line in west Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Dahrat Al-Badeah to West Al-Uraija, and Wikipedia's Line 3 table lists Dhahrat Al Badiah and Aishah bint Abi Bakr Street as metro stations. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 53 stations in six groups: Middle Al-Uraija (18), Imam Abi Hanifah (18), Ayesha Bint Abi Bakr (6), Hamza Bin Abdulmuttalib (5), Abbas Bin Firnas (4) and Madina Munwarah (2). Neither end named by KSA Expats is a group in the dataset. The group names reach Al-Uraija in the middle of the line rather than the west, so the West Al-Uraija end is unconfirmed by the data. One direction is listed.   Route 983 Details Detail Info Bus number 983 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route …

984 Bus Route Riyadh: The Laban to Dahrat Laban Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 984 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 984 is the largest line in this batch, with 82 stations in the Royal Commission's 2024 data. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Laban to Daharat Laban, and both names appear in the dataset as station groups. The dataset holds nine groups: Al Shafa (30), Taif (16), Yanbu (16), Laban (6), Al Remal (6), Dahrat Laban (4), Al Haweya (2), Al Khadraa (1) and Al Khafji (1). Notably, the two biggest groups, Al Shafa and Yanbu, lie beyond Dahrat Laban, the end that KSA Expats names. That leaves the route's real extent open. One direction is listed.   Route 984 Details Detail Info Bus number 984 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs the other way or as a loop) Main starting point Laban (per KSA Expats) Main destination Daharat Laban per K…

935 Bus Route Riyadh: The SABIC Station to Al Muanisiyah Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 935 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 935 is a north-east Riyadh neighbourhood line. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as SABIC Station to Al Munisiyah, and Wikipedia's Line 4 and Line 6 tables list SABIC as a metro station on both. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 30 stations in nine groups: Dabas Bin Rashed (6), Al Qamari (5), Qurtubah (4), Al-Muanisiyah (4), Al Qana (4), Al Zahra (2), Al Tanseeq (2), Al Bairaq (2) and Al Sahaba (1). The dataset has no SABIC group, so that end comes from KSA Expats. There is a puzzle in the data. KSA Expats names Al Munisiyah as the destination, but the dataset's Al-Muanisiyah group is only the third of nine, with six groups further north-east.   Route 935 Details Detail Info Bus number 935 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs …

934 Bus Route Riyadh: The Riyadh Exhibition Center to Al Izdihar Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 934 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 934 is a north-south neighbourhood line in north Riyadh.

Neither end named by KSA Expats is a group in the dataset. Route 933's dataset also has Al-Hussain Bin Ali and Al Abbas Bin Abdul Mutalib groups, so the two lines overlap in that part of the city.

931 Bus Route Riyadh: The Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Station to Al Malqa Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 931 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 931 is a north Riyadh neighbourhood line. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Station to Al Malqa, and Wikipedia's Line 1 table lists Dr Sulaiman Al-Habib as a metro station with a hospital and the Al-Shabab Club Stadium as interchange points. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 22 stations in six groups, and Al-Malqa dominates with 13. Anas Bin Malik has 4, Al Hawta 2, and Olaya, Abdullah Bin Shihaiween and Al Hamasa one each. The dataset has no group named for the metro station, so that end comes from KSA Expats. One direction is listed, so the dataset cannot show how the bus returns.   Route 931 Details Detail Info Bus number 931 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs the other way or as a loop)…

928 Bus Route Riyadh: The King Fahad District Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 928 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 928 is a very short local line in the King Fahad District area. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the same name at both ends: King Fahad District to King Fahad District. Wikipedia's Line 1 table lists two metro stations, King Fahad District and King Fahad District 2, but the sources do not say Route 928 links them. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 16 stations in four groups: King Fahd (9), Hisham Bin Abdulmalik (5), King Abdulaziz (1) and Rodh Al Jawa (1). With one direction listed and the same name at both ends, the sources cannot show the route's shape, so this guide says only what the dataset supports.   Route 928 Details Detail Info Bus number 928 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs the other way or as a loop) Main starting point…

927 Bus Route Riyadh: The As Sulaimaniyah Local Line to As Sulimaniyah Station   Dear All, here are the details about the 927 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 927 is a very short local line in the As-Sulaimanyah area. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as As-Sulaimanyah to As Sulimaniyah Station, and Wikipedia's Line 5 table lists an As Sulimaniyah metro station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 11 stations in six groups, inside a strip only 0.4 km north-south by 1.8 km east-west: As-Sulaimanyah (5), Al-Olaya (2), and one each at Turki Bin Madhi, Abdullah Bin Rawaha, Orwa Bin Al Zubayr and Khalid Bin Yazid.

Neither named metro station is a group in the dataset. The line is shorter than Route 925, the other line that starts at Alinma Bank, and one direction is listed.   Route 926 Details Detail Info Bus number 926 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the route also runs the other way or as a loop) Main starting point A…

961 Bus Route Riyadh: The Ash Shifa Local Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 961 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 961 is a local line in the Ash-Shifa area of south Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives Ash-Shifa at both ends: Ash-Shifa to Ash-Shifa. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 35 stations in thirteen groups, so it is a many-streets line: Ibn Taymeeyah (7), Ibn Tulun (6), Bishr Bin Safwan (4), Abdullatif Bin Mubarak (3), Al Nabegha Al Jaadi (3), Ash-Shifa (3), and single or paired stations in seven other groups. Because the two ends carry the same name and only one direction is listed, the sources cannot show the route's shape.

953 Bus Route Riyadh: The Ar Rawabi to As Sulai Line Along Istanbul Street   Dear All, here are the details about the 953 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 953 is a long single-street line in east Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Ar-Rawabi to As-Sulai, and the Royal Commission's 2024 data places all 25 of its stations in one group, Istanboul, spread over 4.8 km from north to south. That makes Route 953 the least varied dataset in this batch: a single street name, 13 stations numbered in the 100s and 12 in the 200s. Neither Ar-Rawabi nor As-Sulai is a group in the dataset, so both ends come from KSA Expats.
