As of October 1, several changes to both the on-campus and off-campus buses will be implemented.
On-campus, the Research Park route has been discontinued while Golf Cart route was modified – please find its new stops here.
Off-campus, the DSFMC/MyClinic bus has been discontinued, but the Community Express Bus is back! Due to the recent closure of the train station, the Train Station bus has been suspended until further notice. Consult the full schedule here.
Community Express Bus
The Community Express bus to Jeddah resumes on Saturday, October 5. Each Saturday over the next three months, you will have the opportunity to enjoy trips to an art gallery, different shopping malls, a museum and more!
The bus will operate at various times, depending on the destination’s operational hours. The schedule contains the various destinations chosen by you, with the first bus departing this Saturday. Please note that access to venues at the destination must be arranged by the passenger (e.g. purchasing venue tickets).
Have a look at the schedule and book your seat today!
–> Did you know that the Jeddah Corniche has proven such a popular Express Bus destination, it has now become part of the regular off-campus bus schedule? Thanks to your feedback, it now operates three times per week.

Dear Community Services Team,
I work in a startup with its offices in the KRTP HQ building. The Research Park Bus Route and the Yellow are the only two buses that go there, and as I live in Oasis, I always had to change from Oasis route to either of them at Building 14, in order to get to office.
All of the startup cofounders and employees live in Oasis and go to KRTP for work, and yet there is no direct connection between the two places. And now with the KRTP route gone, the connection has become even more difficult.
With more and more startups moving to KRTP now, I think we really need a direct connection between Oasis to KRTP HQ building.
Hoping you’ll consider,
Regards,
