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.

Stations and Stop Order on the 916

The stations sit within a box 1.1 km north-south by 5.1 km east-west. An-Namuthajiyah has stations numbered 504 to 509 and 604 to 609, and Al-Hada 501 to 504 and 601 to 604. The dataset does not say what those ranges mean.

The order shown, from An-Namuthajiyah west to Al-Hada, comes from coordinates and is reliable at the group level for such a straight line. Al-Muraba is added at the start from KSA Expats. RCRC’s sequence numbers do not form a chain.

Stage tags are 13 at stage 1, 8 beyond stage 5.2 and 1 at stage 5, so more than half the line is tagged early. The dataset does not say which stations are open.

 

Fare and Payment

KSA Expats lists a 2-hour pass at SAR 4, which it describes as covering bus and metro rides. Wikipedia’s Line 1 table lists an Al-Murabba metro station, so a train-plus-bus trip toward Al-Hada could share one pass. No source gives a route-specific fare, so confirm the price in the Riyadh Bus app.
