Launch on Saturday March 24
We are proud to announce the first Community Express Bus to Jeddah, taking off to destinations chosen by you, on Saturdays. Over the next two months, you will enjoy trips to different shopping malls, an art gallery, the new corniche, family theme park, the Aquarium and more!
Your bus will run every Saturday on a flexible time schedule that depends on the location selected by the community. You asked for a bus that operates during the day, and has a maximum of approx. 2.5 hours at the destination, so that you could get back to KAUST and enjoy the rest of your weekend with family and friends.
Your first two months schedule contains all of your chosen locations and has been coordinated to depart this Saturday, March 24. Depending on your destination, you may need to make further arrangements yourself, e.g. booking a restaurant or purchasing venue tickets.
This is a trial bus for two months, and if we have enough interest, we will be able to continue to offer the Community Express Bus service. Please be sure to support your new bus by coming along for a fun outing to Jeddah!
Have a look at schedule of the selected destinations for the next two months.

Thank you, How do we book a trip on the schedule? Or we just arrive to the bus station?
Dear Gisela,
You can book your seat through the online booking system by visiting http://kaust.saptco.com.sa/ this will ensure guarantee your seat or you can show up at the bus station but it will be subject to availability.

WOW!! That is amazing. Thank you for this. I love also how you included details about the visited places. Great Job!!
I would love to see semi-regular trips to KAEC. I think many of us without cars would be frequent visitors to KAEC if it was easy to visit. Thanks for setting up these types of trips
Dear Marcus,
Thanks for your kind comment & it will be under consideration.
Thanks
