The Riyadh Transport Authority said the operating team acted swiftly and calmly to handle the emergency, providing the necessary care and support to the mother.

To commemorate the occasion, Riyadh Metro presented a special gift to the parents, including two first-class “Darb” travel cards valid for one year, along with a message of appreciation for the crew members who helped welcome the network’s youngest passenger.
