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 unverified. Use this guide to understand the corridor and confirm the details in the Riyadh Bus app.

Stations and Stop Order on the 150
Omar Bin Abdulaziz is the largest group with 18 of the 84 stations, followed by Nasseriya with 9, King Faisal and As-Salam with 8 each, and West An-Naseem with 7. The dataset’s coordinates fall within a box 12.2 km north-south by 16.6 km east-west. The line climbs north-east from the Nasseriya area towards An-Naseem, so it is a diagonal corridor and not a straight road.
The order shown here runs west to east and was taken from coordinates, because RCRC’s sequence numbers do not form a clean chain. Life in Saudi Arabia’s own list does not follow the geography, since it places National Guard Hospital first and the National Museum near the eastern end, so it is used here only for landmark names.
The line’s iconic metro station is National Museum A, tagged stage 1. The stage tags are split between 35 stations at stage 1 and 37 beyond stage 5.2, so the line is a mix of early and later stages and some stations may not be open.
Fare and Payment
KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4. On a cross-city line like Route 150 the pass is time-based, so a long ride and a connection can fall within the same two hours. None of the sources reviewed gives a Route 150 interval, so check the Riyadh Bus app for the next departure and the current price. From Al Fakhiriyah to Ar Rimayah
