Madinah Municipality and Madinah Region Development Authority are implementing several key projects and initiatives to enhance the quality of community life, improving mobility experiences for the benefit of citizens, visitors and tourists alike, reported SPA.

 

The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project is the latest authority project relating to transit services and improving people's travel experience to and from different areas. 

 

The project includes 22 stations to facilitate transit between sites, including stations at the Prophet's Mosque station, the Haramain Express train station, the Knowledge Economic City station and the Rua Al Madinah project station.
