🚇 Riyadh Metro Station Analysis
Comprehensive Access and Origin Study - February 2026
📋 Study Overview
This comprehensive spatial analysis examines passenger access patterns at three key stations on the Riyadh Metro network. Through on-site surveys conducted in February 2026, we collected detailed origin and travel mode data from 1,164 passengers to understand how people reach metro stations across different parts of the city.
The study reveals critical insights into catchment areas, mode choice patterns, and station accessibility. Key findings include significant car dependency for metro access (averaging 60-70% across stations), varying catchment distances from 5-10 km, and interesting patterns of passengers bypassing closer stations to reach terminal or preferred locations.
The three surveyed stations represent diverse contexts: King Fahad Sports City (Red Line terminal), Dr Sulaiman Al Habib (Blue Line central location), and SAB (Blue Line with extensive car access). Click on the map markers or station cards below to explore detailed analyses for each location.
