About Transportation Center
The job of Transportation Center station is spelled out in its name: it links the metro to the public transport centre in southern Riyadh, from which coaches run to cities across the Kingdom. It is elevated, on the Line 1 (Blue) viaduct, and no other line serves it. What it changes is the shape of an intercity trip — you arrive by metro from anywhere on the network and step across to the coach, or do the reverse on the way into Riyadh, instead of arranging your own way out to the southern edge of the city with luggage in tow. The station sits between Al Iman Hospital to the north and Al Aziziah to the south, in an area given over to service and transport uses rather than housing. It is the only stop on the Blue Line that exists mainly to serve another mode of transport, rather than a district, a landmark or an employer.
It sits between Al Iman Hospital and Al Aziziah on Line 1.
It is an elevated station and runs to the network hours: 5:30 am to midnight Saturday to Thursday, and from 10:00 am on Friday. The SAR 4 two-hour ticket covers the metro and the buses. Below you will find the station on the map, journey times, interchanges and facilities.
