It enables young Saudi men and women to come forward to take up jobs in this promising sector with by taking advantage of the monthly support of up to SR2400 upon completion of 42 trips per month.
The Saudi applicants can register with any of the applications approved by the Public Transport Authority if they met with certain terms and conditions. The conditions include the applicant shall be a Saudi citizen who is not a government employee. Those who have a commercial registration are also not qualified to apply for this job.
The applicants need to register their names through the National Labor Gatetway (TAQAT), the self-employment portal under HADAF, by filling up a self-employment document.
