20000 ريال غرامة «المناداة» و«الكدادة» 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 prohibited for anyone to engage in any land transport activities without a license, such as calling passengers, pursuing them, or intercepting them, as well as 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 who carry out preparatory activities, while the penalties can reach a fine of 20,000 riyals and the impounding of the vehicle for up to 60 days for those who engage in illegal transport, with the possibility of selling the violating vehicle at a public auction, and deporting non-Saudis.

The authority confirmed that these measures are part of its efforts to curb illegal practices, protect passenger rights, and ensure service quality, in addition to safeguarding the rights of legal investors. It noted that it will continue to implement workshops and awareness meetings, and provide guidance materials to raise the level of compliance with the new regulations and laws.
