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.

بديتو تتحسنون لكن ناقصه التجربه

جميل اضفتو الدخول السريع لسحب كلمة السر المحفوظه في الايفون ، لكن لسا الوصول السريع للبطاقه لازال مزعج جداً اتمنى تحسين التجربه للوصول ، Applw wallet, او Apple Widget للوصول السريع او على الاقل الشاشه الرئيسيه للتطبيق هي البطاقه ! مو معقوله ادفع تذكرة درجة اولى شهرياً واتعذب بالوصول لها عكس الدرجه السياحيه وصولهم اسهل حتى بدون التطبيق !

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 Even basic functionality feels outdated.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 You can have excellent transportation infrastructure, but if the main app is frustrating, unreliable, and outdated, that becomes part of the reputation of the entire service.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.

Very Useful App

I suggest to the developers that kindly include the live tracking of the bus, meaning, I’m travelling in a bus or train, it also should show me that you’ve crossed so and so station. However, the other features are really good, need some improvements on UI. Thank you.

Please support Apple Watch and iPhone Wallet

نرجو إضافة دعم نقل بطاقة درب من التطبيق إلى Apple Wallet لاستخدامها عبر NFC. هذا سيكون أسرع وأسهل بكثير من الاضطرار كل مرة عند دخول المحطة إلى فتح التطبيق والقيام بعملية المسح. الميزة مهمة جدًا وستحسّن تجربة المستخدم بشكل كبير. نأمل إضافتها في أقرب تحديث Please add support for transferring the Darb card from the app to Apple Wallet, so we can use NFC directly. This would be much faster and more convenient than having to open the app and scan every time we enter a station. This feature is very important and would significantly improve the user experience. We hope to see it added in an upcoming update.

Need to add ticket to wallet

The app is ok, but lots of room for improvement. It’s not easy to access your ticket (and sometimes says you don’t have one), so you should be able to add it to your wallet. Also, when I switch to it, most of the time it says “login failed” for no reason. Finally, using Apple Pay does not work. I tried repeatedly, but just ended up entering my credit card details manually. It’s a good start though, and the metro is fantastic.

Needs to unify bus & metro journeys

The app is great for looking and planning your routes using either the bus OR the metro. However, for some reason it does not allow you to plan a journey using both. The app needs to recognize that as the RPT said “the buses connect you to the metro, and the metro gets you around Riyadh.” Why is it saying I have to walk 20mins to the station instead of using the very bus route made for this exact scenario?

Too many bugs

It took me about two weeks to figure out how to use the an app to book a ride. User interface on app is slick and looks good, but it does not function properly and has A LOT of bugs. I finally figured out how to book a ride, and I booked a ride to come and pick me up at a scheduled time. It said I could activate the ticket and have three hours to use it once activated. Once the time approached, I activated the ticket and it expired within 20 minutes. And my bus on demand ride never showed up at the scheduled time. So I tried to rebook but it said none available. Meanwhile I see the bus on demand busses parked literally by my flat, with the drivers resting inside. I have booked it a few other times and it has worked. They arrived on time and everything went well. A couple of other problems: 1. If you want to bring your family with you, it is quite the process (if even possible). You have to set up separate accounts and passwords for each one of them. Even if you have a baby you have to set up an account for that baby and they have to have a phone number and email etc. then you have to log into their account to set and purchase the ticket. 2. Another pretty bad bug: you cannot cancel a scheduled trip with bus on demand. I have never seen that before….

Useful but Needs Major Improvements

The Darb app for Riyadh Metro and Bus has some good features, but it could be a lot more user-friendly. Finding locations on the app is harder than it needs to be, and the search function could definitely use some improvement. Integrating it with Google Maps would make navigation so much easier and more accurate. Another big issue is that the app automatically sets your screen brightness to maximum, which is super annoying, especially at night. It really needs an option to turn that off. Overall, the app does the job, but fixing these issues and adding Google Maps integration would make it much better for everyday use.
