During Ramadan, 17 shuttle bus routes have been arranged for transportation from various sites in Mecca to Masjid al-Haram. According to Saudi Arabia's "Guests of the Merciful Program," a large number of Umrah pilgrims come from outside the country during Ramadan, and there is also a continuous stream of pilgrims from within the country. With this in mind, special arrangements have been made for shuttle bus services to facilitate Umrah pilgrims. The service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that pilgrims from other cities can have transportation to and from the Holy Mosque without any difficulty.

In a statement issued by the authorities, it was stated that the fare for the bus service has been kept very reasonable. The convenience of the Spain system has also been provided for paying the fare. The bus fare has been divided into two basic routes, with a fare of 16 riyals for those coming from outside Mecca who park their cars at the checkpoint outside the city, while those coming from the parking area within Mecca have to pay 7 riyals.
