Built across an impressive 112,000 square meters, the station offers a range of integrated facilities and public services. These include commercial spaces, a sensory garden, public amenities, and a mosque capable of accommodating up to 550 worshippers.

To support commuters and visitors, the station also provides parking facilities with capacity for more than 600 vehicles.

According to the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, the Western Station is designed to handle over 60,000 metro passengers per hour in addition to approximately 1,300 bus passengers per hour, making it one of the city’s most important transportation hubs.

The new station is expected to significantly enhance connectivity between metro lines and major destinations across Riyadh while encouraging residents and visitors to increasingly rely on public transportation.

With the completion of all four iconic stations, Riyadh Metro enters a new phase in its journey toward building a smarter, more sustainable, and globally connected capital city.
