180 Bus Route Riyadh: The Qasr Al Hokm to Olaishah Line Through Al Badeah

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

Stations and Stop Order on the 180

The dataset holds only a stretch of the line. Al-Badeah has four stations (501 and 502 in direction 2, 601 and 602 in direction 1), Ar-Rafeah has two in direction 2 (506 and 507), and Amr Bin Al Aas 401, the line’s one large air-conditioned shelter, is in direction 1. Their coordinates sit within a box 1.0 km north-south by 0.9 km east-west.

Every station in the dataset is tagged beyond stage 5.2, so the dataset gives no early-stage anchor for this line. Wikipedia’s Line 1 and Line 3 tables list Qasr Al Hokm as a metro station, which fits the KSA Expats start point, but the sources do not describe a bus-to-metro link.

The stops list follows Life in Saudi Arabia’s landmark order from Qasr Al Hokm through Ad-Dirah, Ash-Shomaisi and Al Badeah to Olaishah Park. Only Al-Badeah, Ar-Rafeah and Amr Bin Al Aas are confirmed by the station data, so the rest should be checked in the app.

Fare and Payment

KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4. It is the only fare figure in the sources reviewed, and no source gives a Route 180 interval. With a short dataset and no timetable, the Riyadh Bus app is the way to confirm both the price and the next departure.

How to Ride the 180 Bus

1. Start at the Qasr Al Hokm area, or at an Al-Badeah or Ar-Rafeah station if you are already in the west.
2. Open the Riyadh Bus app and check the direction and next departure for Route 180.
3. Pay with your pass or the payment option shown in the app.
4. Alight at the station nearest King Saud Medical City or Olaishah, and check how far the route runs in the app.

Frequently Asked Questions About Route 180

Where does the 180 bus go?
KSA Expats lists it as Qasr Al Hokm to Olaishah. Life in Saudi Arabia adds Ad-Dirah, Al Masmak Palace Museum, Al Badeah, Amr Bin Al Aas and King Saud Medical City as landmarks. The RCRC data covers only a short stretch.

Why does the RCRC data show only seven stations for Route 180?
The dataset lists seven stations in three groups, all tagged beyond stage 5.2. It does not explain the small number, so treat it as a partial record and confirm the full route in the app.

Does Route 180 serve King Saud Medical City?
Life in Saudi Arabia names it among the landmarks on the older pattern. The RCRC data lists no medical-city stop for this line, and neither source says the bus stops at its entrance, so check the nearest station in the app.

Is Route 180 still running?
KSA Expats’ January 2025 list of operating routes includes Route 180 as Qasr Al Hokm to Olaishah. That list is not an official timetable, so confirm current service in the Riyadh Bus app.

How often does the 180 bus run?
None of the sources reviewed publishes an interval for Route 180. Life in Saudi Arabia’s older list gives none for it. Check the Riyadh Bus app for departure times.

How much does the 180 bus cost?
KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4 as of January 2025. It is not a Route 180 price, so confirm the fare in the Riyadh Bus app before you travel.

Data notes: station lists from the RCRC Open Data Portal (2024 dataset describing the network as planned once fully developed); route names and older stop patterns from Edarabia, KSA Expats (January 2025) and Life in Saudi Arabia (January 2025). Metro station names from Wikipedia’s Line 3 table. The RCRC data covers only seven stations for this line, so most of the route comes from older listings. Confirm in the Riyadh Bus app.
