Riyadh Metro has achieved a significant milestone, earning the official recognition of Guinness World Records as the world’s longest fully driverless train network, spanning 176 kilometers, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
This global benchmark reflects the Kingdom’s bold strides toward building modern, sustainable transportation systems.
Since opening in December, Riyadh Metro has swiftly positioned itself as a cornerstone of Riyadh’s transport network, carrying more than 100 million passengers, according to the Royal Commission for Riyadh City.
The system operates through an entirely automated, driverless model, governed by advanced central control rooms that closely monitor every movement with exceptional precision to maintain the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and service quality.
The designs also align with sustainability standards with a special focus on the proper use of environmentally friendly materials. Therefore, it stands as a testament the project’s ambitious vision towards boosting the urban environment.
By earning the recognition of Guinness World Records, Riyadh Metro underscores the Royal Commission for Riyadh City’s dedication to advancing smart, sustainable urban mobility. It further stresses its commitment to building cutting-edge infrastructure that elevates the quality of life in the capital in line with the Saudi Vision 2030.
