At 6:00 AM this Wednesday, a new station on the Riyadh Metro opened its doors to the public.
The Royal Commission for Riyadh City stated that the Qasr Al-Hukm station is one of four main stations in the metro network, serving as a vital hub linking the Blue and Orange lines with the city’s bus services.
The commission added that the station is strategically located near government institutions, historical palaces, landmarks, markets, shopping centers, and residential neighborhoods in the heart of the city.
Covering an area of 22,500 square meters across seven floors and reaching a depth of 35 meters, the station uniquely blends traditional and modern design elements,
allowing natural light to illuminate the interior while providing shaded spaces. It features 17 elevators and 46 escalators, alongside numerous retail shops and a shaded public garden.
The Riyadh Metro, which opened to the public on December 1st, comprises six interconnected lines with 85 stations. It aims to help address challenges arising from the rapid growth of the capital,
such as reducing traffic congestion and cutting carbon emissions by offering a more environmentally friendly transportation option.
Since its launch, it has already transported 18 million passengers.
