920 Bus Route Riyadh: Al Murabba Station to Ad Dirah on King Fahd Road   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 920 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 920 is a short north-south line along King Fahd Road. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Al Muorabba Station to Ad Dirah, and Wikipedia's Line 1 table lists an Al-Murabba metro station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 22 stations in two groups. Twenty-one are on King Fahd, numbered 107 to 117 and 208 to 217, and one, Esmail Sabri 201, is a large air-conditioned shelter at the northern end. There is no Ad-Dirah group, so that end comes from KSA Expats. This is the most single-road line in the batch, with all but one station on one road. One direction is listed.   Route 920 Details Detail Info Bus number 920 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 Muorabb…

916 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Muraba to Al Hada Line Through An Namuthajiyah   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 916 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 916 is a west-east neighbourhood line. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Al-Muraba to Al-Hada, and the Royal Commission's 2024 data places its 22 stations in three groups: An-Namuthajiyah (12), Al-Hada (8) and Ar-Rafeah (2). The groups fall on an almost perfect east-west line, 5.1 km long, from An-Namuthajiyah in the east through Ar-Rafeah to Al-Hada in the west. That matches the direction of KSA Expats' pair if Al-Muraba is at the eastern end. There is no Al-Muraba group in this line's data, though Route 7's data has one. Only one direction is listed, so the dataset cannot show how the bus returns.   Route 916 Details Detail Info Bus number 916 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 loo…

915 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Hilla Station to Al Khalidiah Line   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 915 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 915 is a short west-east neighbourhood line. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Al Hilla Station to Al-Khalidiah, and Wikipedia's Line 3 table lists an Al-Hilla metro station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 19 stations in four groups: Al-Hallah (10), Al-'Anouz (7), Al-Anwar (1) and Madina Munwarah (1). Al-Hallah is spelled differently from KSA Expats' Al Hilla, and the sources do not say they are the same place. There is no Al-Khalidiah group in this line's data, though Route 11's data has one. Only one direction is listed, so the dataset cannot show how the bus returns.   Route 915 Details Detail Info Bus number 915 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 Hi…

914 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Iman Hospital Station to Al Mansurah Line   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 914 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 914 is a neighbourhood line in south-east Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Al Iman Hospital Station to Al-Mansurah, and Wikipedia's Line 1 table lists an Al Iman Hospital metro station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 22 stations in seven groups: Mohammed Bin Sh'Ail (10), Al-Mansurah (6), Mali (2), and one each at Islamabad, Al Majrada Valley, Al Hukair and Al Kharj. The Al-Mansurah stations run to the eastern end of the line, which fits the destination KSA Expats names. The dataset has no Al Iman Hospital group, so that start comes from KSA Expats. Only one direction is listed.   Route 914 Details Detail Info Bus number 914 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) Ma…

913 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Batha to Olaishah Line   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 913 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 913 is a short west-east line in central Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Al Batha to Olaishah, and the Royal Commission's 2024 data places its stations in the Ad-Dirah, Al-Wisham and Olaishah groups along a strip 2.9 km long. The dataset holds 18 stations in four groups: Al-Wisham (8), Ad-Dirah (7), Olaishah (2) and Al Khatib Al Baghdadi (1). It has no Al Batha station, so that start comes from KSA Expats. Life in Saudi Arabia's older Route 150 listing also names Al-Wisham as an origin. One direction is listed, so the dataset cannot show how the bus returns.   Route 913 Details Detail Info Bus number 913 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 Batha (per KSA Expats, J…

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.   Route 912 Details Detail Info Bus number 912 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 Ad-Dirah (per KSA Expats, Jan 2025; not in the RCRC data) Main d…

911 Bus Route Riyadh: The Utayqah to Skirinah Station Line   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 911 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 911 runs north from Utayqah towards the Skirinah station area. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Utayqah to Skirinah Station, and Wikipedia's Line 1 table lists a Skirinah metro station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 21 stations in five groups: Utayqah (8), Manfouha (5), Al Faryan (4), King Fahd (3) and Ath-Tain (1). Utayqah is the southern group, which fits the start named by KSA Expats. There is no Skirinah group in this line's data, so that end comes from KSA Expats. Only one direction is listed, so the dataset cannot show how the bus returns.   Route 911 Details Detail Info Bus number 911 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 Utayqah (per KSA Expats, Jan 2025…

910 Bus Route Riyadh: The Manfouhah Station to Ad Dirah Line Through Utayqah   Dear All Viewers, here are the details about the 910 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 910 is a short neighbourhood line in south Riyadh. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Manfouhah Station to Ad-Dirah, and Wikipedia's Line 1 table lists a Manfouhah metro station. The Royal Commission's 2024 data holds 30 stations in seven groups, and Utayqah dominates with 14, followed by Qotaiba Bin Muslim with 9. Manfuha, Salam, Al A'Sha, Al Mansuriyah and Madina Munwarah share the rest. The dataset has no Ad-Dirah group, so that end comes from KSA Expats. Only one direction is listed, so the dataset shows where the stations are but not how the bus returns.   Route 910 Details Detail Info Bus number 910 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 Manfouhah St…

150 Bus Route Riyadh: The Cross-City Line From Al Fakhiriyah to Ar Rimayah   150 Bus Route Riyadh: The Cross-City Line From Al Fakhiriyah to Ar Rimayah - Route 150 is a long cross-city line and, with 84 stations, the largest of the eight routes in this batch. It runs from the western Al-Fakhiriyah and Nasseriya groups through the Al-Muraba and Omar Bin Abdulaziz stretch to a run of eastern groups that ends at Ar-Rimayah. Life in Saudi Arabia lists it as Al-Wisham to National Guard Hospital and names landmarks including Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Hospital, Security Forces Hospital, Al Nahda Park and the National Museum. The RCRC group names line up with that list, from Nasseriya and Al-Muraba to Ar-Rawabi, As-Salam and West An-Naseem. The sources do not say whether Ar-Rimayah in the dataset and the National Guard Hospital in the older list refer to the same stop. KSA Expats' January 2025 list of operating routes does not include Route 150, so current service is…

13 Bus Route Riyadh: The Khalid Bin Al Walid BRT Line Toward Imam Al Shafi Street   13 Bus Route Riyadh: The Khalid Bin Al Walid BRT Line Toward Imam Al Shafi Street | Route 13 is the smallest of Riyadh's three BRT lines in the RCRC data: a 21-station corridor along Khalid Bin Al Walid Road and Imam Al Shafi Street in the east of the city. Time Out Riyadh names it as the Khalid Ibn Alwaleed BRT route. Life in Saudi Arabia describes it as running from TGI Fridays on Khalid Bin Waleed Street to Sky Mall on Imam Shafi Street, with landmark stops that include Riyadh Mall, Al Yamamah Hospital and Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Hospital. The RCRC data supports the two-road shape: 10 stations under Khalid Bin Al Walid, 10 under Imam Shafiee, and one An Nassem B station at the south-eastern end. One caution applies. KSA Expats' January 2025 list of operating routes does not include Route 13, so current service is best confirmed in the Riyadh Bus app before you plan a trip…

12 Bus Route Riyadh: The As Suwaidi to Dirab BRT Line Toward Ali Ibn Abi Talib   Route 12 is the second of Riyadh's three BRT lines and the one that serves the south-west, running east to west across Al-Mansurah, Al-Yamamah, Dirab and Hamza Bin Abdulmuttalib to As-Suwaidi Al-Gharbi and Western Station. Sources name its ends slightly differently. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives Al-Suwaidi Al-Gharbi to Ali Ibn Abi Talib Terminal, and Time Out Riyadh calls it the As Suwaidi to Ash-Shifa BRT route. The RCRC station data has its eastern group at Al-Mansurah and no Ali Ibn Abi Talib station on this line, so the last stretch towards that terminal is not confirmed by the dataset. Route 12 is also heavily tagged for later development: 31 of its 41 stations carry the beyond-stage-5.2 tag. That is a reason to check the app before relying on any particular station being open.   Route 12 Details Detail Info Bus number 12 Route type BRT line wi…

11 Bus Route Riyadh: The King Abdulaziz Road BRT From Ar Rabi to Al Kharj   Route 11 is the longest line in this batch and one of the three bus rapid transit (BRT) routes in the Riyadh Bus network. KSA Expats lists it as Ar Rabi Terminal to Al Kharj Terminal, and the Royal Commission's 2024 station data agrees: terminal-type stations sit at Ar Rabi in the north and Al Kharj in the south-east, with a run of numbered BRT stations in between. Time Out Riyadh describes BRT 11 as the extension of King Abdulaziz Road to Al Iskan District, and the station names bear that out: the dataset's groups are King Abdulaziz, Salahuddin Al Ayubi, Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Al-Khalidiah and Al Kharj. A different, older listing from Life in Saudi Arabia describes Route 11 as Hayat Mall to Prince Faisal Bin Fahd Stadium via Sahara Mall, Riyadh Palace and The View Mall. That pattern does not match the BRT corridor, so it is treated here as an older or separate service and not as part of this ro…

180 Bus Route Riyadh: The Qasr Al Hokm to Olaishah Line Through Al Badeah   Route 180 connects Qasr Al Hokm in the old centre of Riyadh with Olaishah in the west, and is one of the shortest-documented lines in this batch. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Qasr Al Hokm to Olaishah, and Life in Saudi Arabia adds landmark stops at Ad-Dirah, Al Masmak Palace Museum, Ash-Shomaisi, Assir Street, Al Badeah, Al Rafeah, Amr Bin Al Aas, King Saud Medical City and Olaishah Park. The Royal Commission's 2024 station data is much smaller, with seven stations in only three groups, and all seven are tagged beyond stage 5.2. This guide separates the two: the dataset shows where a stretch of the line's stations sit around Al-Badeah and Ar-Rafeah, and the older list gives the wider route, which is worth confirming in the app.   Route 180 Details Detail Info Bus number 180 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in the RCRC station dataset …

170 Bus Route Riyadh: From Central Riyadh to Al Suwaidi Al Gharbi   Route 170 links the old centre of Riyadh with the Al Suwaidi Al Gharbi district in the south-west, running along King Faisal Road and Madina Munwarah Road and through the Suwaidi Al Am and Sadir groups. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives it as Ad-Dirah to Al-Suwaidi Al-Gharbi, while Life in Saudi Arabia starts the line at the National Museum and ends it at the public Al-Suwaidi garden, naming stops such as Al Masmak Palace Museum, Riyadh General Court and Ayesha Bint Abi Bakr along the way. The Royal Commission's 2024 data supports the shape: seven station groups, 56 stations, from King Faisal in the east to As-Suwaidi Al-Gharbi in the west. This guide keeps the two start points as separate claims, since the sources disagree on where the line begins, and points out where the numbers need checking.   Route 170 Details Detail Info Bus number 170 Route type Two-way; bot…

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 Detail Info Bus number 160 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in the RCRC station dataset Main starting point Al Batha (per Life in Saudi Arabia, Jan 2025; not in the RCRC data for this line) Main destination Al-Masani (per Life in Saudi Arabia, Jan 2025; not in the RCRC data for thi…

151 Bus Route Riyadh: The Madina Munwarah Road Line to Ar Rawabi Route 151 is a line in the eastern half of Riyadh, running along Madina Munwarah Road through the Al-Jazeerah and Ibn Al Ameed groups to Haroon Rasheed and Ar-Rawabi. Life in Saudi Arabia describes it as running from Ali Ibn Abi Talib Street to Fahya, with landmarks that include Riyadh Rail Station, As-Sinaiyah, Al-Jazeerah Park, Ibn Al Ameed, Haroon Rasheed, Dawak Medical Complex and Boudle Al Fahya Hotel. The Royal Commission's 2024 data confirms the middle of that list: its station groups are Al Kharj, As-Sinaiyah, Madina Munwarah, Al-Jazeerah, Ibn Al Ameed, Haroon Rasheed, Ar-Rawabi and As-Saadah. KSA Expats' January 2025 list of operating routes does not include Route 151, so treat current service as unverified and check the Riyadh Bus app. This guide sets out what the dataset and the older list can and cannot confirm.   Route 151 Details Detail Info Bus number 151 Route typ…

17 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Kharj Corridor to New Industrial City Route 17 is the employment-corridor line in this batch, running south-east from the Al Batha area along the Al Kharj corridor towards New Industrial City. Edarabia and Life in Saudi Arabia describe the older pattern as Al Batha to Industrial City, with stops named Riyadh Water Tower, Al-Kharj, Yamama Saudi Cement Factory, Convalescent Hospital and Saudi Cables, and a return that mentions Kharj Housing and Ibn Sulaiman Commercial Center. The Royal Commission's 2024 dataset is simpler: 42 stations, 32 of them in an Al Kharj group and 6 in a New Industrial City group. KSA Expats' January 2025 list does not include Route 17, though it lists Al Kharj Terminal to New Industrial City routes numbered 965 and 966. Treat Route 17's current service as unverified and confirm it in the Riyadh Bus app.   Route 17 Details Detail Info Bus number 17 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in…

16 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Badeah Line Out to Bilal Bin Rabah and Jeddah Road Route 16 is the long east-to-west line in this batch, running from the Al Batha area through Ad-Dirah and Al-Badeah and out to the Bilal Bin Rabah stations at the western edge of the dataset. Edarabia and Life in Saudi Arabia describe the older pattern as Al Batha to Jeddah Road Bridge, with stops at Al Maglya Shopping Center, King Saud Medical City, Haggar School, Albadeah Mall and Al Nasr Club. The Royal Commission's 2024 station dataset matches that shape: 75 stations, 30 of them grouped under Bilal Bin Rabah and 12 under Al-Badeah. One caution applies. KSA Expats' January 2025 list of operating routes does not include Route 16, although Life in Saudi Arabia's does. Treat current service as unverified and check the Riyadh Bus app before planning a trip around it.   Route 16 Details Detail Info Bus number 16 Route type Two-way; both directions appear in the RCRC …

10 Bus Route Riyadh: From Al Batha Out to Khalid Bin Al Walid Road   Dear All, 10 Bus Route Riyadh - Route 10 KSA runs from the Al Batha area out to Khalid Bin Al Walid Road on the north-east side of Riyadh, crossing Al-Malaz, Al Ahsa', Makkah Al Mukarramah and Khurais along the way. The end of the line is described three ways. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives Al Batha to Al Hamra, Life in Saudi Arabia says Al Quds District, and Edarabia's older pattern names Al Rawdah District after stops at the Central Post, King Faisal bin Fahd Stadium, Riyadh Zoo and the Ministry of the National Guard. The Royal Commission's 2024 dataset settles where its stations are: the north-eastern end is a terminal-type station named Khalid Bin Alwaleed Road A, the only station of that shelter type on this line. That makes Route 10 a good example of why a bus number alone is not a destination. Use the station groups below to work out whether your stop is on the line, and check the Ri…

9 Bus Route Riyadh: The Olaya Street Line Toward the Northern Vegetable Market   9 Bus Route Riyadh | Route 9 is the Olaya Street line, a north-south run through central Riyadh that KSA Expats lists as Transportation Center to Northern Vegetable Market. Edarabia and Life in Saudi Arabia describe the older pattern in landmarks: Al Batha, the Chamber of Commerce, Faisaliyah Tower, Kingdom Tower and Uwais Markets before the vegetable market. The Royal Commission's 2024 station dataset supports the northern half of that corridor, with 22 of its 36 stations grouped under Olaya and the rest under Al-Muraba, Al-Olaya, Al-Murooj and Al-Mughera Bin Shoubah. A May 2025 official post from Riyadh Public Transport also names Route 9 as the way to reach the Transportation Center from Al Batha, which fits the southern end of the line. This guide explains the layers and points out where the sources are silent.   9 Bus Route Riyadh Details Detail Info Bus nu…

8 Bus Route Riyadh: The At Takhassusi Road Line Toward King Fahd Route 8 is a north-south line in Riyadh, and the sources that describe it do not fully agree, which is the first thing to know before you plan a trip on it. The Royal Commission's 2024 station dataset places 34 of the line's 35 stations on the At Takhassusi corridor, with a single King Fahd station at the northern end and no Al Batha stations at all. KSA Expats' January 2025 list gives the line as Al Batha to As Sahafa. Edarabia and Life in Saudi Arabia describe an older Al Batha to Dallah Driving School pattern that passes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, King Faisal Specialist Hospital, Euromarche Markets and the King Abdullah Financial District. This guide keeps those layers separate: the dataset for where the stations are, KSA Expats for the current end points, and the older landmark pattern as history. Confirm the terminal in the Riyadh Bus app before you rely on any of them.   Route 8 Details…
