The Haramain High-Speed Railway reached a new milestone in 2024, having transported more than 20 million passengers since its launch. This reflects its important role in strengthening Saudi Arabia’s transport network and connecting major urban areas with high levels of efficiency and comfort.
Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) announced new records for 2024. Its other passenger trains carried more than 13 million passengers, while its freight trains transported over 28 million tonnes of goods and minerals, according to a post on its LinkedIn account.
The year also saw the first edition of the Saudi Rail exhibition and conference, held under the patronage of the Minister of Transport and Logistic Services. SAR also adopted its strategy through 2035 to expand services and strengthen infrastructure.
SAR’s achievements last year included completion of the new freight rail alignment outside the urban area of Al-Ahsa Governorate and activation of air transport operations for its logistics lines. It also signed new strategic agreements, including the purchase of 10 new passenger trains for the Eastern Network.
