Following the inauguration by Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on November 27, 2024, Riyadh Metro, operated by the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC), opened its doors to passengers today.
 The metro is now serving commuters on three of its six lines: the Blue Line (Al-Olaya-Al Batha), the Yellow Line (King Khalid International Airport Road), and the Purple Line (Abdulrahman bin Aauf Street–Sheikh Hassan bin Hussain bin Ali Road).
 The remaining three lines will follow a sequential operation plan. The Red Line (King Abdullah Road) and the Green Line (King Abdulaziz Road) will start on December 15, 2024, while the Orange Line (Madinah Road) will start being operational on January 5, 2025.
 Stations on the Blue Line, Al-Olaya-Al Batha, will open to passengers before the end of 2024. These stations include Ministry of Interior, Qasr Al-Hukm, Sulaiman Al Habib, Al Murooj, Murabba, Wurud 2, Bank Albilad, King Fahd District, King Fahd Library, National Museum, Al Batha, and Al-Aziziyah.
 An Naseem Station on the Purple Line, along Abdulrahman bin Aauf Street–Sheikh Hassan bin Hussain bin Ali Road will open during the same timeframe.
 Passengers can specify their destinations and buy tickets using the "darb" mobile app or directly from vending machines at the stations. For more information, they can call the unified call center, at 19933, visit the Riyadh Metro website, or check the social media accounts.
