About SAPTCO
Success Journey
The Saudi Public Transport Company (SAPTCO) embarked on its journey in 1979, coinciding with the government's initiation of the public transportation concept in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SAPTCO was established with an initial capital of 1,000 million Saudi Riyals. In 2007, the capital was augmented to 1,250 million riyals, elevating SAPTCO to the status of Saudi joint-stock company and marking it as the inaugural national land carrier. This distinction came with a concession spanning 45 years, concluding on October 15, 2023.
