Do we need to reserve a seat in order to be able to take the bus?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to arrange another bus at 12:00 noon on 17 Sep? I believe there must be a lot of kaustian will travel at that time. Thanks a lot.
Dear Lamei,
Usually we don’t provide the service within the working hours, I have got the management permission to provide at 16:00 because there are many flights at that time, in your case I suggest that you arrange for a taxi service through KAUST service providers.

Hi Sheng,
My friend and I also need transport back to Kaust from the North Terminal at about 2am on Sunday 27th September. Could you let me know if you get any information about a bus at that time? I know there is one at 12:30am but nothing later as far as I know. Thank you!
Hi Lucy,
Please email me back to my KAUST email address: sheng.li@kaust.edu.sa.
We have managed to arrange our paid private buses, two of them. Too long to wait with kids until 4am….
