Jeddah Metro


The Jeddah Metro is a proposed metro system in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Several lines will be built over the course of at least five years that eventually aim to increase public transport commuter share to 30% from the current 1%-2%.

Planning

The metro was approved in March 2013. SYSTRA was chosen as the project engineer in 2014. A number of opening dates have been floated; however the project has been long delayed.
Foster and Partners is to design the stations, trains and branding.

Network

A total of three lines are planned. Phase 1 would link the King Abdulaziz [International Airport] with the Prince [Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium], central Al-Ruwais and Al-Khozam.
