To plan the metro, RCRC looked at many important things. They studied traffic on main roads, where people travel to, and made sure the metro can handle many passengers. They also made sure the travel time on public transport would be quick and easy.

The goal of the project is to cut down on traffic, save fuel, and reduce pollution. Eng. Al-Sultan shared that the Riyadh Metro is the biggest project of its kind, with 176 kilometers of track and 85 stations. It is made to meet the needs of the city and help it grow. The metro will give people new ways to travel and reduce their reliance on cars.

The project will also make Riyadh a better place to live by creating walkable areas around metro stations, with easy access to important places like shopping malls and tourist spots. Eng. Al-Sultan added that the metro will also help make the city greener by cutting down on car pollution and using energy-saving technologies in trains, stations, and buildings.
