The services are provided daily to the beneficiaries by the operating company under the supervision of the Authority with the participation of volunteers, starting from 3:00 p.m. until after Tarawih prayers in the round-trip route.

It is noteworthy that the transportation service hours will be extended during the last 10 days of Ramadan until half an hour after performing the Qiyam Al-Layl prayers.
