Over 27,000 buses are set to transport pilgrims around the holy sites during Hajj this year

According to confirmation from Saudi Arabia's Transport General Authority, nearly 27,000 buses will be employed to transport pilgrims around the sacred sites during Hajj this year. More than 3,500 buses with 16 routes and 11 stops and stations would carry pilgrims to and from the Grand Mosque. 

Additionally, 355 buses were allotted by the administration for transportation in Makkah, while 27 buses were sent to Madinah. 

In order to preserve a comfortable travel atmosphere, passengers were asked to follow certain guidelines. These guidelines included refraining from eating or smoking in locations that weren't designated and not talking loudly on their phones while on the road, since this may disturb other passengers.

When a bus is delayed for more than an hour on trips lasting longer than three hours, the authority will compensate the passengers. In addition to being given information on how to file complaints and inquiries, passengers will thereafter be eligible for complimentary meals and refreshments.
