RIYADH: The Royal Commission for Riyadh City, in partnership with the National Center for Privatization & PPP, and Qiddiya Investment Company, has launched the registration phase for companies and entities vying to implement the first phase of the Qiddiya high-speed rail project, under a public-private partnership model.
“The RCRC, in collaboration with Qiddiya Investment Company and the National Center for Privatization & PPP, announces the start of the Expression of Interest phase for the construction of the Qiddiya high-speed rail project,” the RCRC said on its official account on X.
“The Qiddiya high speed rail aims to strengthen vital transport links across Riyadh, by providing a high-speed rail connection between King Salman International Airport, King Abdullah Financial District and Qiddiya City in less than 30 minutes,” it said in another post on X.
“With speeds of up to 250 km/h, it will serve as a central mode of the capital’s modern transport network, enhancing the travel experience, and facilitating access to Riyadh’s key destinations,” it added.
It will be a major component of Riyadh’s transportation system, complementing the city’s newly launched public transport network and offering an integrated urban mobility experience.
