The Saudi Arabian Public Transport Co. (SAPTCO), runs a fleet of buses throughout the main city that also connect Riyadh to several other Saudi Arabian cities, as well as cities in neighboring countries.
Flat-fare minibuses (SR 2) are available in Riyadh, but these are mostly used by laborers. They are challenging for visitors to use since there are few posted stops and routes are usually written in Arabic. al-Bathaa is the bus central station.
