I have been in Dubai for three months, they have excellent transport system, Buses and Metro also the Taxi service & fares are computerized. Now since i am planning to move to KSA, I have read here that there is no such transport system as there is in UAE.
I will be new to Riyadh and will be searching for job. what sort of  transport system should i use/ be using, moving from one place to another & How are the Taxi fares?

Unlike Dubai, the taxi fares here are very affordable. you can always negotiate with the taxi driver on the amount, but even if you use the meter. It ain't like dubai

I meant comparatively.

If you are looking transport for long term then there are some private taxi operators and most of them doing it as a part time.If you readn Transportation column u will found many adds there .Any one suits you u may call and can negotiate.I think they  are cheaper than Public Taxi(Lamosine).Goodluck

Looks like only Taxis will be available there. No other means of public transport?
