Indra’s automatic ticket vending machines and access control mechanisms are now operating on the first three recently-opened lines of the Riyadh Metro system.
In the coming months, it will extend to the other three lines, with a full network spanning 176 km, across 85 stations.
Indra’s technology is now in operation on the fleet of over 800 buses, the conventional bus stops and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lines around the city.
The implementation of technology across Riyadh’s buses also forms part of the 266-million-euro contract awarded to the company to implement its automatic ticketing and access control solutions throughout Riyadh’s public transport network.
The equipment designed by Indra for the BRT and conventional bus stops is capable of withstanding the climatic conditions of Riyadh, as it is resistant to temperatures above 60ºC and protected against dust and water.
The new metro equipment is now being incorporated into the central system that serves the bus network to provide passengers with an integrated and intermodal end-to-end journey with a single transport ticket.
