## Resource

In this episode of Mobility Redefined, Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz speaks with Hammam Saab, Vice President for Technical Affairs at Jeddah Transport Company, about the large-scale transformation underway in Saudi Arabia’s second-largest city. As part of Vision 2030, Jeddah is redefining its mobility future with bold investments in electric buses, integrated transport networks, and user-centric services. Listeners will learn how Jeddah’s new bus network has grown from just six lines to 14, with modern Euro V and electric vehicles, supported by air-conditioned stations and plans for Demand Responsive Transport. Hammam also discusses Jeddah’s pioneering sea taxi service, upgrades to the city’s fragmented taxi sector, and ambitions for a unified, app-based mobility solution. With over 100,000 daily passengers at its airport during peak periods, and as a gateway for over 2 million pilgrims annually, Jeddah’s public transport planning is also tuned for global events like Haj and the 2034 FIFA World Cup. A compelling story of innovation, sustainability, and cultural shift in a city on the rise. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:17 Spotlight on Jeddah's Transformation 02:04 Jeddah's Role in Vision 2030 03:43 Revamping Jeddah's Bus System 05:06 Innovations in Sea and Taxi Transport 07:36 Integrated Mobility Solutions 09:41 High-Speed Rail and Future Plans 10:43 Preparing for Haj and World Cup 13:28 Sustainability and Electric Buses 16:23 Cultural Shift Towards Public Transport 18:31 Future Projects and Final Thoughts 19:48 Conclusion and Farewell Connect with Us: Website: https://mobilityredefined.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mobility-redefined/ Mobility Redefined is brought to you by Modaxo https://www.modaxo.com Host: Dr. Kaan Yildizgoz Producer: Mike Cartmel Executi…
