ArRiyadh Development Authority (ADA) has completed the end of tunnel excavation works for Line 5 (Green Line), one of the three lines being constructed by FAST Consortium. The Green Line runs underground within a bored tunnel along King Abdulaziz Road, one of the main arteries running through the city of Riyadh. The length of the line is 13km and it features 11 deep underground stations, in addition to 2 transfer stations with the Red and Blue lines. 
For the project, Alstom has been unveiled on June 8th a full-size mock-up of the Riyadh Metropolis train. The Metropolis trains are composed of two cars per set and are each 36 metres long. Each train features three classes-first, family and single class. The trains are driverless and 100% motorized, allowing them to run on gradients of up to a 6% slope.
The trains will offer passengers a high level of comfort, ergonomic seating, LED lightning, air conditioning and advanced passenger information systems.
