The Transport General Center for the city of Makkah and the Holy Sites has announced the launch of a bus entry platform for Makkah, aimed at organizing transport within the holy capital and ensuring the smooth arrival of buses coming from various cities during the Ramadan 1447 AH season.
The Center explained that the platform allows buses wishing to enter Makkah to register and view instructions on transport mechanisms within the central area and the Holy Sites, helping raise operational efficiency, enhance safety and ensure the security and safety of the Guests of Allah, Umrah pilgrims and visitors, according to a post on the Makkah Region account on X.
It noted that launching the platform is part of efforts to upgrade services in the transport system and develop coordination mechanisms between the relevant authorities, keeping pace with the expected traffic density during the holy month.
The platform also includes registration instructions and operating controls aimed at strengthening compliance with relevant regulations, and organizing bus entry according to a clear mechanism ensuring smooth traffic flow and reducing congestion in the areas surrounding the Haram and key locations.
The Center asked all drivers and operators of buses providing transport services from other cities to Makkah to register entry requests via the platform promptly, to ensure they obtain the permits and guidance related to transport operations during the season.
The launch of the platform comes within coordination between the competent authorities, including the Transport General Authority, the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah and the Royal Commission for Makkah City and Holy Sites, reflecting integrated organizational efforts to serve Umrah pilgrims and visitors during the Ramadan season.
