The opportunity

A metro moves millions. A network should move them together.

The Riyadh Metro is one of the fastest-growing transit networks on earth — yet riding it remains a solo experience. MetroSocial is the social layer that doesn't exist: a real-time map of your circle on the metro, with statuses, chat and meetups built around the network itself.

  • Riyadh's population skews young and hyper-connected — a native social layer is missing entirely.
  • Metro ridership is compounding with Vision 2030 growth; every new rider is a new network.
  • Location-aware social apps have proven monetisation — subscriptions, sponsored meetups, station deals.
  • We own the entire stack: native app, real-time API, maps, and a working simulator — no dependency risk.
Live — the same map as the app
The live map needs WebGL. Open this page in Chrome, Safari or Firefox.

Interactive — drag to explore. Same map stack and station data as the app.

The product

Built for spontaneous meetups

Everything a friend group needs to go from "anyone out?" to "see you at the station" in one tap.

📍

Live Friend Map

See your friends in real time on the metro network — exactly which station they're at or approaching.

Status & Intent

Set what you're doing — coffee, eating out, roaming — and it auto-expires when you leave.

💬

Live Group Chat

A chat auto-created for everyone currently live in your circle. Coordination, no effort.

🎯

Meetup Creator

Pick a station, set a time, invite friends — see confirmations and ETAs in real time.

🛤️

Route & ETA

"Meet at KAFD." The app routes each friend on the network and shows arrival estimates.
