Ramadan Transport Planning In Makkah: General Transport Center Completes 1447 Preparations

The General Transport Center announces full operational and regulatory readiness for the 1447 AH Ramadan season in Makkah. The plan aims to manage the expected increase in Umrah performers and worshippers. It focuses on improving traffic flow. It also seeks to maintain safety. The preparations cover all transport modes serving the Grand Mosque.

The Center has prepared an integrated system to organise transport and mobility in Makkah. The plan is based on the Center’s role as the unified reference authority for the city’s transport ecosystem. It sets clear responsibilities. It defines service levels. It also links operational planning with regulatory oversight to support stable performance during peak hours.

As part of this plan, the transport control room has been activated to operate around the clock. The room monitors operational readiness, public safety, and regulatory compliance. It also tracks the integration of different transport modes. These include services to and from the Grand Mosque, Makkah Buses, and Makkah Taxi services.

The Center has adopted monitoring tools and performance measurement mechanisms to support the season. Periodic operational reports provide detailed indicators on mobility levels. They track compliance with regulations. They also record clearance times at central stations. The reports include corrective and improvement recommendations. These are applied continuously during Ramadan to address any operational gaps quickly.

On the ground, the General Transport Center has reviewed transport routes and station conditions across Makkah. Qualified field teams have been deployed to regulate movement and assist users. Coordination with security authorities and other relevant entities has been strengthened. The central area around the Grand Mosque receives special attention. These combined efforts aim to ensure safe, smooth, and efficient services for all transport users.
