17 round-the-clock bus routes to and from the Grand Mosque launched
The Guests of God Service Program, one of the programs of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, has announced the launch of 17 round-the-clock bus routes from Makkah entrances to the Grand Mosque — back and forth during Ramadan.
The program clarified that the buses will be working for 24 hours, with a waiting period of less than 5 minutes for each trip.
The bus service is distinguished by having safe payment methods, which comes to ease the process for pilgrims and worshippers so they can perform their rituals with comfort, the program confirmed.
It is worth mentioning that the program, in an infographic, determined the routes, stops, duration and price.
It indicated that the stops inside Makkah include: Jamarat “Kidana” stop (a dedicated stop for buses) to Bab Ali station — for every 8 km / 8 minutes, SR7.
