RATP Dev’s Role in Riyadh’s Metro Network
As part of the joint venture CAMCO - Capital Metro Company between RATP Dev and its Saudi partner SAPTCO (Saudi Public Transport Company), RATP Dev is responsible for the mobilization, operation, and maintenance of Riyadh Metro Blue Line (Line 1) and Red Line (Line 2).
1. Mobilization Phase
CAMCO fostered local employment and expertise by creating numerous opportunities for Saudi nationals.
2. Operational Phase
CAMCO operates and maintains two fully automated metro lines, delivering a broad range of services, including:
• Day-to-day operations and passenger assistance.
• Comprehensive safety measures and security management.
• Maintenance of metro systems, including trains, signaling, telecommunications, power supply, and passenger information systems.
• Facility management for stations, adjacent parking areas, and depots.
3. Towards a Seamless Multimodal Network
The metro is an integral part of the project of King Abdulaziz for mass transit in Riyadh. This project is an integrated metro and bus network intended to address the future expectations of the city’s inhabitants. With six fully automated metro lines amounting to 176 kms and 85 stations, the Saudi capital’s metro network will cover essential points of interest, including schools, hospitals, universities, commercial centers and government facilities.
The Blue Line and the Red Line are seamlessly integrated with Riyadh’s bus network, which includes 80 bus lines and 3 Bus Rapid Transit lines, already operated by RATP Dev’s joint-venture PTC with SAPTCO.
