Incredibly proud, after taking the metro to work this morning, following last week’s inauguration. While today marks day one, as the city of Riyadh embarks on a new connected future, service at the stations was amazing. Equally impressive was the turnout and ridership, with many commuters deciding to use alternative and clean transportation. Special thanks to my fellow colleagues, who worked tirelessly with our partner’s and the Royal Commission for Riyadh City | الهيئة الملكية لمدينة الرياض, to deliver Lines 1, 2, and 3, and bring this project to life.
