The Riyadh Metro (six driverless lines, opened 2024) plus a city bus network now cover much of the capital; ride-hailing fills the gaps.

The Darb card/app pays for the Riyadh Metro and city buses.

Careem and Uber are the simplest option; the city is large and car-oriented, so factor in distances.
