About GOSI
GOSI is one of those Line 5 stations named for the organisation sitting above it — in this case the General Organization for Social Insurance on King Abdulaziz Road. The station is deep underground and served by the Green Line alone. It falls within the government section of the route, between Officers Club to the north and Al Wizarat to the south, in a narrow ribbon where official headquarters line both sides of the road. Most people getting off here are staff and visitors bound for the organisation or one of the neighbouring departments, so the station's traffic clusters around the start and end of the working day rather than spreading evenly across it. With a flat fare charged by time rather than distance, reaching GOSI from the top of the line costs exactly the same as reaching it from the bottom. There is no interchange at the station; those are at the two ends of the route, at Ministry of Education and National Museum.
It sits between Officers Club and Al Wizarat on Line 5.
It is a deep underground 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.
