Public transport

ahd, there are two types of public transportation within the city of Riyadh. One, run by SAPTCO (Saudi Public Transportation Company) and the other run by private bus operators. The former run some sleek tourist coach type buses with the SAPTCO label clearly indicated on the sides while the latter constitute a plethora of Toyota Coaster buses that would never be allowed on the back alleys of many third world nations, sadly.

The fare within the city is SR 2 from any poin to any point, irrespective of distance, for both options.

The routes that I am aware of are as follows:-

1. BATHA to DALLAH, plying from the south along Dabab Street and then moving on to Olaya Road at the Makkah Road/Khurais Road intersection

2. BATHA to UMM AL HAMAM

3. BATHA to RAWDAH

There may be other routes too and I am sure others may be able t contribute  ther schedules if known.

As far as I am aware they do not follow a strict timetable schedule.
