Saudi Public Transport Company

Established in 1979, the Saudi Public Transport Company (SAPTCO) is publicly owned and based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. SAPTCO operates urban buses in Riyadh, Jeddah and Mecca, as well as intercity and international bus services to Bahrain, Jordan and the UAE. The company manages a fleet of over 8,000 vehicles and serves more than 12 million passengers annually.

Summary

SAPTCO performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. While the company discloses its ISO certification indicating its focus on improving management quality and safety practices, it does not report systematic actions to improve the technical quality of its transport services. Similarly, though the company discloses that it provides a grievance mechanism, there is no evidence that the mechanism allows for anonymous complaints or is accessible to external individuals and communities. The company’s overall lack of disclosure on key sustainability topics makes it difficult to fully assess its impact on people and the planet.

To foster transparency and positive change, SAPTCO should identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities through a materiality assessment and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy. It should assign clear accountability for strategy oversight to the highest governing body, such as its board of directors. The company should also disclose its policy commitments to respect human rights. Furthermore, SAPTCO should establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals.
