Makkah Bus project to start charging Passengers from 1st November

Starting from 1st November 2023, the Makkah Bus Project’s General Transport Center, which is part of the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites (RCMC), would begin charging customers 4 riyals per ticket from passengers who use the Makkah Bus service.

Even though the project was officially launched by Royal Commission of Makkah City on Sunday after the trial period ended, the first use of its integrated paid services will actually start from November 1.

– All integrated services made available to the beneficiaries are included in the 4 riyal fee. Within limits of time that are suitable for all users, special offers and prices will be made available for various categories.

– After the trial period, which benefited over 100 million people, the Makkah Bus Project introduced the integrated paid services with the tagline “Together on the Path.” On February 15, 2022, the free trial period began, and it will finish on October 31, 2023, during this period the authority did not collect any fee from passengers.
