You Have to Listen to Your Users

There have already been many negative reviews about this app, and that should be taken seriously. If we want to achieve the Kingdom’s vision of digital transformation, public services need to actually listen to users and continuously improve—not dismiss or justify a poor user experience.

The app is not user-friendly and has far too many technical issues for something that represents Riyadh’s public transportation system. Even basic functionality feels outdated. Why, in 2026, can’t the transport card be added to Apple Wallet? Why should users still need to carry a physical card?

This is especially important because the app is one of the first points of contact with Riyadh’s public transportation system. Think about the impression it gives to tourists and visitors. You can have excellent transportation infrastructure, but if the main app is frustrating, unreliable, and outdated, that becomes part of the reputation of the entire service.

Please stop treating repeated complaints as isolated customer issues. Look at the recurring feedback, listen to your users, fix the technical problems, modernize the app, and make the digital experience match the quality and ambition Riyadh is aiming for.

سيء لابعد الحدود

يبغالك 10 سنوات ضوئية عشان تطورونه ، لو ماسكه سعوديين كان قد حدثوه وطوروه اكثر ،، متاكد الي ماسكينه اجانب ومستحيل يتطور ،، شكينا بتويتر على مشاكل التطبيق و لا يوجد اي تحديث او تجاوب .

اضافة خاصية

التطبيق ممكن تستفيدون منه باضافة خاصية اضافة بطاقة درب اللي شريتها من الأجهزة عند المحطة على حسابي الشخصي واقدر اعبيها اي وقت بدون ما احتاج اروح للأجهزة كل مرة.
لان حالياً ماله فايدة استخدم التطبيق وهو يفتقر لكثير ميزات
ممكن اضافة تحسين وضع مواقف السيارات واضافه اسعار مجانية او اسعار وجود السيارة اكثر من ليلة ويكون اقل من ايقافها بالمطار
كما هو في تطبيق مطارات الرياض
+ نتمنى اضافة جسور مشاه لبعض محطات القطار لتسهيل وصول الناس للمحطات القريبة من سكنهم لكن يفصلهم طريق رئيسي

Virtual card

It is disappointing that the app still does not offer a virtual transit card that can be added to Apple Wallet or other digital wallets. This would make it much easier to use a mobile phone for accessing public transportation, as has been available in many countries around the world for years.
