RDA invests in developing a state-of-the-art public transport system
Published October 30, 2020 in Case Studies
From virtually no public transport, other than Taxis, the Riyadh Development Agency is delivering an integrated Metro and Bus network across the city.
The project
The Riyadh Bus Project is a brand-new bus network which is being built from the ground up and includes bus feeder routes to metro stations and dedicated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lanes.
Trapeze supported RDA to provide an Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) solution to integrate Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) for buses into the overall management system. Trapeze also delivered interfaces for multiple stakeholders to provide integrated data management and system control for Riyadh’s expanding bus fleet.
