Saudi Arabia sets annual and student ticket prices for metro from 2026
Dubai: The Riyadh Public Transport Authority has announced new pricing for annual tickets on the Riyadh Metro, along with term tickets for students, effective from January 1, 2026, as part of efforts to enhance transport services and ease daily travel across the Saudi capital.
In a statement, the authority said annual tickets will be available to all passengers in both digital and plastic formats.
Direct flights will cut layover hassles
Tourists planning Mecca trips or Riyadh Season outings will skip Dubai-style connections once Riyadh Air launches routes. Mejia confirmed the next phase of development will also include new aircraft hangars and key airside infrastructure, with construction scheduled to start in 2026. The airport aims to begin operations in 2029.
