430 Bus Route Riyadh: Khalid Bin Alwaleed Terminal to Al Awwal Park   Dear All, here are the details about the 430 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 430 is a west-east line across north Riyadh that runs from the Khalid Bin Alwaleed Terminal area through Al-Hamra, Al-Ezdihar, Al-Nuzha and Al-Murooj to Al-Muhammadiyah and the King Saud University area, ending at Al Awwal Park. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the line as Khalid Bin Alwaleed Terminal to Al Awwal Park, and Life in Saudi Arabia adds landmarks including Othman Bin Affan Road, King Abdullah Road and Digital City. The Royal Commission's 2024 data matches almost exactly: nine station groups running in the same order. That agreement makes Route 430 the most cleanly documented line in this batch, though the dataset has no terminal-type station on it, so the terminal end comes from KSA Expats.   Route 430 Details Detail Info Bus number 430 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in …

350 Bus Route Riyadh: The Long Line From Al Awwal Park to Al Faiha   Dear All, here are the details about the 350 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 350 is the widest-spreading line in this batch, a diagonal from the Al Awwal Park and King Saud University area in the north-west across central Riyadh to the Omar Bin Al Khatab and Al-Jazeerah stations in the east. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the line as Al Awwal Park to Al-Faiha, and Life in Saudi Arabia describes a long sequence of landmarks: King Abdullah Road, King Faisal Specialist Hospital, King Khalid Road, King Saud Road, Nasseriya Street, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Museum and Haroon Rasheed Road. The Royal Commission's 2024 data backs that sequence with nine station groups in matching order. That agreement between the dataset and the older list makes Route 350 one of the better-documented lines here, though the final Al-Faiha stretch is not in the dataset.   Route 350 Details …

342 Bus Route Riyadh: The Ath Thumamah Community Line From KAFD to Al Yarmuk   Dear All, here are the details about the 342 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 342 is a community bus that links the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in the west with Al-Yarmuk in the east, running along Ath Thumamah Road, Saeed Bin Zaid and Khalid Bin Al Walid Road. Its start point is described two ways. Life in Saudi Arabia says KAFD, with landmarks including Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University and the Riyadh Personal Status Court, while KSA Expats' January 2025 list says Ar Rabi to Al Yarmuk Station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data has a KAFD A station, classed as an iconic metro station, at the western end, which supports the KAFD start. Wikipedia's Line 6 table names Route 342 as a community bus at Al-Yarmuk, so the eastern end is better documented than the western one.   Route 342 Details Detail Info Bus number 342 Route type Community bus route …

341 Bus Route Riyadh: The King Saud University to Al Andalus Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 341 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 341 starts at King Saud University and, according to the older lists, runs east along King Abdullah Road and through Al Urubah to Abdulrahman Al Ghafqi Road and Al-Andalus. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the line as King Saud University to Al-Andalus, and Life in Saudi Arabia's shorter list runs KSU, King Abdullah Road, Al Urubah, Abdulrahman Al Ghafqi Road and Khalid Bin Al Walid Road. The Royal Commission's 2024 data is broader and less tidy: 67 stations in twelve groups, including Hitteen, Al-Malqa, As-Sahafa, Al-Nakheel and Saeed Bin Amer in the north-west that the older lists do not mention. That is a warning that Route 341 has more to it than a straight KSU-to-Al-Andalus line, so this guide separates the confirmed ends from the wider set of stations.   Route 341 Details Detail Info Bus number 3…

340 Bus Route Riyadh: The Ath Thumamah Line Through Qurtubah   Dear All, here are the details about the 340 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 340 is documented only by the Royal Commission's 2024 station data. Neither of the route lists reviewed for this guide names it: it is not in KSA Expats' January 2025 list or Life in Saudi Arabia's list. What the data shows is a 47-station line across the north of the city, from a station named SAR and the Al-Muanisiyah and Qurtubah groups in the east, along Ath Thumamah and Abi Bakr Alsiddiq roads, to King Abdulaziz and Anas Bin Malik in the west. Because no source names an origin or destination, this guide sticks to what the dataset supports and does not invent termini. Confirm the route and its destination in the Riyadh Bus app before you plan a trip on it.   Route 340 Details Detail Info Bus number 340 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in the RCRC station dataset Main starting point No…

280 Bus Route Riyadh: From As Sulaimaniyah Down King Saud Road to Olaishah   Dear All, here are the details about the 280 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 280 links As-Sulaimanyah with Olaishah, running from the Makkah Al Mukarramah Road stations in the north-east down King Saud Road and across King Faisal Road to Ar-Rafeah in the south-west. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the line as As-Sulaimanyah to Olaishah, and Life in Saudi Arabia adds landmarks including Abu Dhabi Square, Prince Sultan Military Medical City, the Ministry of Interior, An-Nasiriyah and Olisha Park. The Royal Commission's 2024 data is compact but coherent: 27 stations in six groups, with King Saud the largest at 11 and Ar-Rafeah second at 9. The dataset does not include As-Sulaimanyah or an Olaishah station, so both ends come from the older lists.   Route 280 Details Detail Info Bus number 280 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in the RCRC station dataset …

250 Bus Route Riyadh: As Sulaimaniyah to National Guard Hospital   Dear All, here are the details about the 250 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 250 is a community bus that runs from As-Sulaimanyah out along Makkah Al Mukarramah Road and Khurais Road towards the National Guard Hospital in the east. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the line as As-Sulaimanyah to National Guard Hospital. Life in Saudi Arabia's version starts at the Armed Forces Officers Club and runs on through Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Al Nahda Park, King Abdulaziz Medical City and King Abdul Aziz University for Health Sciences to Al Rimayah. Wikipedia's metro station tables name Route 250 as a community bus at three stations: Abu Dhabi Square and Officers Club on Metro Line 5, and Khurais Road on Line 6. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds only 12 stations for the line, so most of the route comes from those older and third-party lists.   Route 250 Details Detail Info …

231 Bus Route Riyadh: The Othman Bin Affan Road Line From the Exhibition Center   Dear All, here are the details about the 231 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 231 is a north Riyadh line built around Othman Bin Affan Road. It starts at the Riyadh Exhibition Center on King Abdullah Road and heads north-west along Othman Bin Affan, Anas Bin Malik and King Abdulaziz roads towards King Salman Road and Olaya. The two older sources name the far end differently: KSA Expats' January 2025 list says SAB Station, while Life in Saudi Arabia says Al-Arid. Life in Saudi Arabia's landmark order also passes Ath Thumamah and Imam Mohammed Bin Saud University. The Royal Commission's 2024 data supports the road sequence, with 34 of its 58 stations grouped under Othman Bin Affan. That makes Route 231 one of the clearest single-road corridors in this batch, but the destination is worth confirming in the app before you plan a trip around it.   Route 231 Details Detail Info …

230 Bus Route Riyadh: From Al Wurud to Ar Rabi and Al Malqa   Dear All, here are the details about the 230 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 230 climbs through north Riyadh, from Al Wurud along King Abdullah Road and up Abi Bakr Alsiddiq Road to Ar-Rabi, and on through As-Sahafa and Olaya to the Al-Malqa stations at the northern edge of the dataset. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the line as Al-Woroud to Ar Rabi Terminal, and Life in Saudi Arabia describes the same pair with stops at the Ministry of Education, the North Riyadh Traffic Department and Al Nada District Park. The Royal Commission's 2024 data goes further than either: 61 stations in ten groups, with Anas Bin Malik, Hajr Valley, Al-Malqa and King Salman beyond Ar-Rabi. The sources do not say whether the line runs on to Al-Malqa today or whether those stations belong to a later stage, so treat the stretch past Ar-Rabi as unconfirmed and check the Riyadh Bus app.   Route 230 Details Detail I…

945 Bus Route Riyadh: Al Khaleej to An Nahdah via Jubail   Dear All, here are the details about the 945 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 945 is a neighbourhood line in east Riyadh that Saudipedia's timeline describes as starting from the Al Khaleej neighbourhood and heading to An Nahdah Station. It was one of seven routes added in the fourth phase of Riyadh Bus, and KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the same pair. The Royal Commission's 2024 data has 36 stations in eight groups, with Jubail (12) and Ibnul-Haitham (8) the largest, followed by Al-Khaleej and Al-Khbar with 6 each. There is no An-Nahdah group in the dataset for this line, so that end comes from the two lists. One direction is listed, and the groups run in a narrow strip, so this guide shows them as an approximate grouping and not a stop order.   Route 945 Details Detail Info Bus number 945 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say whether the …

944 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Khaleej and An Nahdah Line Toward Al Andalus   Dear All, here are the details about the 944 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 944 is a neighbourhood line in east Riyadh that Saudipedia's timeline describes as running between Al Andalus Station and Al Khaleej Station. It was one of seven routes added in the fourth phase of Riyadh Bus, and KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Al Khaleej to Al Andalus Station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data has 30 stations in four groups: Al-Khaleej (10), Hafsa Bint Omar (8), Abdulrahman Al Nasser (6) and An-Nahdah (6). There is no Al Andalus group in the dataset, so that end comes from the two lists. Wikipedia's Line 2 and Line 6 tables both list an Al Andalus metro station. Only one direction is listed, so the dataset shows where the stations are but not how the bus returns.   Route 944 Details Detail Info Bus number 944 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dat…

942 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Khaleej to Ar Rawdah Neighbourhood Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 942 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 942 is a neighbourhood line in east Riyadh that Saudipedia's timeline, drawing on the Royal Commission, describes as starting from the Al Khaleej neighbourhood and stopping at Ar Rawdah Station. It was one of seven routes added in the fourth phase of Riyadh Bus. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives a different start: Al Hamra Station to Ar-Rawdah. The Royal Commission's 2024 data has 39 stations in eight groups, running from Al-Khaleej in the north to Ar-Rawdah, Al-Hasan Bin Ali and Abdullah Bin Rasheed in the south, and none of them is named Al Hamra. Al-Khaleej is the dataset's northernmost group, which is consistent with Saudipedia's start, though the dataset names no origin. As with the other neighbourhood lines, only one direction is listed.   Route 942 Details Detail Info Bus number 942 Route…

933 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Nuzha to At Tawun Neighbourhood Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 933 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 933 is a short neighbourhood line that Saudipedia's timeline, drawing on the Royal Commission, describes as starting from the Al Nuzha neighbourhood and stopping at Al Taawun Station. It was one of seven routes added in the fourth phase of Riyadh Bus. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the pair as Al-Nuzha to At-Tawun. The Royal Commission's 2024 data lists 23 stations in five groups: Hail (12), Al-Nuzha (6), Al-Hussain Bin Ali (2), Al Abbas Bin Abdul Mutalib (2) and King Abdullah (1). None of them is named Taawun, so that end comes from the two lists alone. Like Route 932, the dataset lists one direction only, so it shows where the stations are but not how the bus returns.   Route 933 Details Detail Info Bus number 933 Route type One direction listed in the RCRC station dataset (it does not say wh…

932 Bus Route Riyadh: The Ar Rabi to Al Yasmeen Neighbourhood Line   Dear All, here are the details about the 932 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 932 is a short neighbourhood line in north Riyadh that Saudipedia's timeline, drawing on the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, describes as starting from the Ar Rabi neighbourhood and stopping at Al Yasmeen Station. It was one of seven routes added in the fourth phase of Riyadh Bus. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the same pair, as Ar Rabi Terminal to Al Yasmeen. The Royal Commission's 2024 data lists 14 stations in five groups: Al-Yasmeen (4), Al-Qalah (3), Ar-Rabi (3), Sahara Al Maghrabiyah (3) and Al Qadesiya (1), all within a box 2.7 km north-south by 2.0 km east-west. Unusually for this guide, the dataset lists only one direction for Route 932. That means it can show where the stations are, but not whether the bus runs a loop or returns the same way.   Route 932 Details Detail Info Bus number 93…

730 Bus Route Riyadh: The Long Community Line From West Al Uraija to Ar Rabi   Dear All, here are the details about the 730 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 730 is the longest north-south line in this batch: a community bus that runs from West Al-Uraija in the south-west of Riyadh to the Ar Rabi terminal in the north, following Western Ring Road, Jeddah Road and King Abdulaziz Road. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as West Al-Uraija to Ar Rabi Terminal. Wikipedia's tables tie it to three metro stations: Western Station on Line 3, King Salman Oasis on Line 2 and Ar Rabi on Line 6, where it appears with BRT Route 11. The Royal Commission's 2024 data has only 17 stations in five groups. Those 17 stations spread over a box 23.4 km from north to south, so the dataset lists far fewer stations per kilometre than most lines here. The dataset does not say why, so check the app for the actual stops.   Route 730 Details Detail Info Bus number 730 R…

680 Bus Route Riyadh: Transportation Center to Irqah Community Line   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 680 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 680 is a community bus that arcs across the south and west of Riyadh, from the Transportation Center area through Al-Yamamah, Sultanah and Olaishah to Irqah. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Transportation Center to Iraqh, which the dataset spells Irqah. Wikipedia's Line 2 table names Community Bus route 680, with route 730, at the King Salman Oasis station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data has 56 stations in eleven groups, with Irqah (18) and Sultanah (8) the largest. The dataset has no Transportation Center station for this line, so the start comes from KSA Expats. The dataset has no stations between its Olaishah and King Abdullah groups, which are 10.8 km apart in a straight line, so that stretch is worth checking in the app.   Route 680 Details Detail Info Bus number 680 Route …

660 Bus Route Riyadh: From the Transportation Center Out to Dirab   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 660 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 660 runs south-west from the Transportation Center to Dirab, one of the longer lines in this batch. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Transportation Center to Dirab. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 80 stations in eleven groups, with Dirab (24) and Arfat (19) the largest, and it includes Al Haeer, the same district that Route 160's older listing names. Its shelters are mostly open shelters (40) and air-conditioned shelters (31), and 32 of the stations are tagged stage 1. There is no Transportation Center station in the dataset for this line, so the north-eastern start comes from KSA Expats. This guide separates that from what the dataset confirms.   Route 660 Details Detail Info Bus number 660 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in the RCRC station dataset Main star…

540 Bus Route Riyadh: The Hassan Bin Thabit to Al Khaleej Community Line   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 540 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 540 is a community bus in east Riyadh, running north-west from Hassan Bin Thabit through Salman Al Farsi to Al-Khaleej. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Hassan Bin Thabit to Al Khaleej. Wikipedia's Line 3 table names Community Bus route 540 at Hassan Bin Thabit Street, alongside an As-Saadah stop, so the south-eastern end is better documented than most. The Royal Commission's 2024 data has 32 stations in five groups, with Hassan Bin Thabit (14) and Salman Al Farsi (12) the largest, and single stations at As-Saadah, Al-Khaleej and King Abdullah beyond them. The line is almost perfectly straight on the map, which makes its order easier to read than most, though the sources still give no timetable.   Route 540 Details Detail Info Bus number 540 Route type Community bus route (pe…

181 Bus Route Riyadh: From Al Sinaiyah to North Al Mathar via As Sulaimaniyah   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 181 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 181 links the Al-Sinaiyah area with North Al-Mathar, passing through As-Sulaimanyah and Al-Olaya on the way. KSA Expats' January 2025 list names it and gives the line as Al-Sinaiyah to North Al-Mathar. The Royal Commission's 2024 station data fills in the middle: 39 stations in seven groups, with Al-Olaya (13) and As-Sulaimanyah (12) the largest, plus Abu Dhabi Square A, Nasseriya, Shuaib Al Qayni and Ad Dar. The dataset has no Al-Sinaiyah station, so the south-eastern start comes from KSA Expats alone. Wikipedia's Line 5 table lists Abu Dhabi Square as a metro station, which is worth knowing if you plan to combine bus and train.   Route 181 Details Detail Info Bus number 181 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in the RCRC station dataset Main starting point Al-Sinai…

948 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Yarmuk Neighbourhood Line to Al Yarmuk Station   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 948 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 948 is a short line serving the Al Yarmuk neighbourhood. Saudipedia's timeline, drawing on the Royal Commission, describes it as starting from the Al Yarmuk neighbourhood and stopping at Al Yarmuk Station, and it was one of seven routes added in the fourth phase of Riyadh Bus. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the same pair as Al Yarmuk Station to Al Yarmuk. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 26 stations in two groups: Abi Jafar Al Mansoor (20) and Al-Yarmuk (6). Wikipedia's Line 6 table lists an Al-Yarmuk metro station with Community Bus route 342. Both sources agree, which makes this one of the cleaner neighbourhood lines, though one direction is listed and the sources give no timetable.   Route 948 Details Detail Info Bus number 948 Route type One direction listed in the R…

947 Bus Route Riyadh: The Granada Station to Al Muanisiyah Line   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 947 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 947 is a north-east Riyadh line that Saudipedia's timeline, drawing on the Royal Commission, describes as starting from As-Shuhada Station and stopping at Al-Muanisiyah Station. It was one of seven routes added in the fourth phase of Riyadh Bus. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives a different start: Granada Station to Al-Muanisiyah. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 40 stations in eleven groups, running from Abi Jafar Al Mansoor in the south-west to Al-Muanisiyah, Al Sharae' and Al Qiyas in the north-east. Wikipedia's tables list a Granada metro station on Line 6, but none of the sources reviewed explains an As-Shuhada Station. Both lists agree on the end, and the dataset has an Al-Muanisiyah station at the north-eastern tip. One direction is listed.   Route 947 Details Detail Info Bus number 9…
