The Riyadh Metro has secured a prominent global recognition, entering the Guinness ‎World Records as the world’s longest fully automated, driverless metro network, spanning 176 ‎kilometers. This accomplishment highlights the Kingdom’s accelerating progress in building modern ‎and sustainable mobility systems.‎

As a core component of the Saudi capital’s public transport project, the Riyadh Metro comprises six ‎integrated lines, serving 85 stations. It is also equipped with advanced technologies and operates entirely ‎without drivers, with all routes managed through sophisticated central control centers that ensure ‎precise monitoring and compliance with top safety and quality standards.‎

Together with the broader public transport network – which includes integrated metro and bus ‎services – the system plays a vital role in easing traffic congestion across the city, strengthening the ‎local economy, and enhancing Riyadh’s urban, social, and environmental landscape. It also improves ‎mobility and access for all segments of the community.‎
