The Riyadh Metro project, the game-changing public transportation project in Saudi Arabia’s capital, “will be opened soon,” Rai Al Youm reported on Wednesday, citing the German News Agency (DPA).
The project is the largest for public transport networks in the world.
The announcement was reportedly made by Fahd Al-Rasheed, the chief executive officer of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City.
Al-Rasheed, in a statement to DPA, said that the King Abdulaziz Public Transport Project will open “its first phase at the beginning of this year, to be followed by other phases at close intervals.”
The first phase of Riyadh Metro is reportedly expected to start in March and the final operation will take place before the year ends.
