Egis awarded contract for Madinah BRT project

Aimed at implementing high-capacity public transport modes part of the Pilgrim Program is one of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiatives

Egis has been awarded the contract by the Al Madinah Region Development Authority (MDA) to provide project management and construction management (PMCM) services for the Madinah Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.

The project is the city’s large-scale transportation initiative, aimed at implementing high-capacity public transport modes, and aims to establish 500 stations. It is part of the Pilgrim Experience Program, one of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiatives.

The primary objective is to enhance the public transportation system, ensure convenient travel for visitors, alleviate traffic congestion, and provide a safe and sustainable mode of transportation for residents, visitors and pilgrims.

“This project aligns perfectly with Egis’ core expertise in transportation infrastructure, and we are committed to delivering a sustainable and efficient BRT system that meets the needs of Al Madinah’s residents and visitors. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to leveraging specialised global knowledge for sustainable transportation development, supporting Saudi Vision 2030’s goals of economic diversification and enhanced connectivity,” said Omar Benzaria, Transportation Director for Egis in the Middle East and South Asia.

The Egis-led JV with Systra will play a pivotal role in delivering PMCM services of the Madinah Bus Network, including BRT, priority bus and feeder services.

The JV services include engineering supervision and oversight of design, construction, testing and operation. They will also handle safety and security management for systems, including buses, depots, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and operational systems, as well as for civil works, such as bus lanes, stations and stops, footbridges, and park-and-ride facilities.
