20 ألف ريال غرامة «المناداة» والكدادة» في أنشطة النقل البري

The Transport Authority confirmed that the new land transport system on roads emphasizes the prohibition of conducting transport activities without a legal license, including what is known as "kaddadah" or "calling." It is forbidden for anyone to engage in any land transport activities on roads without a license, such as calling passengers, chasing them, or intercepting them, or gathering or roaming in areas where passengers are located for the purpose of calling them. It clarified that the penalties imposed on violators start with a fine of up to 11,000 riyals and the impounding of the vehicle for up to 25 days for those involved in preparatory activities, while penalties can reach a fine of 20,000 riyals and the impounding of the vehicle for up to 60 days for those practicing illegal transport, with the possibility of selling the violating vehicle at a public auction and deporting non-Saudis.

The Transport Authority confirmed that these measures are part of its efforts to curb illegal practices, protect passenger rights, ensure service quality, and safeguard the rights of legitimate investors, noting its continued implementation of workshops and awareness meetings, and providing guiding documents to raise the level of compliance with the new regulations and laws.
