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.
