440 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Yarmuk and Al Qadisiyah Line Toward Ath Thumamah Best

440 Bus Route Riyadh: The Al Yarmuk and Al Qadisiyah Line Toward Ath Thumamah

Route 440 is a north-east Riyadh line documented only by the Royal Commission’s 2024 station data. It is not in KSA Expats’ January 2025 list or Life in Saudi Arabia’s list.

The dataset shows 30 stations in seven groups, running from Khalid Bin Al Walid and Al-Hamra in the south-west through Al-Yarmuk, Al-Qadisiyah, Al Najah and Ar-Rimal to Ath Thumamah in the north. Al-Yarmuk is the largest group with 12 stations.

Because no source names an origin or destination, this guide does not invent termini, and it says only what the dataset supports. Confirm the route and destination in the Riyadh Bus app before you plan a trip on it.

Stations and Stop Order on the 440

Al-Yarmuk has 12 of the 30 stations, followed by Ar-Rimal and Al-Qadisiyah with 6 each, and Ath Thumamah and Al Najah with 2 each. Khalid Bin Al Walid appears in direction 1 only and Al-Hamra in direction 2 only, so the two directions end at different south-western stations. The coordinates sit within a box 8.2 km north-south by 5.7 km east-west.

RCRC’s sequence numbers do not form a clean chain, so the order shown runs south-west to north from coordinates and should be read as approximate. The line does not run in a straight line, so the order between neighbouring groups is the least certain part.

Stage tags are 15 beyond stage 5.2, 10 at stage 4, 4 at stage 1 and 1 at stage 2. The dataset describes the network as planned once fully developed, so a listed station is not proof that it is open.

Fare and Payment

KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4, but that list does not include Route 440, and no other source gives a route-specific fare. Treat SAR 4 as the general network fare and confirm the price and the next departure in the Riyadh Bus app.

How to Ride the 440 Bus

1. Look for an Al-Yarmuk, Al-Qadisiyah or Ar-Rimal station, since those are the largest groups on the RCRC list.
2. Open the Riyadh Bus app and check that Route 440 is listed and which direction it runs.
3. Pay with your pass or the payment option shown in the app.
4. Alight at the station nearest your destination, checking that the two directions use different stations at the south-western end.
