⏰ Service Pattern

Hours: 24 hours a day (official grids start at 04:00 and run past 02:00). RCMC publishes the 7’s full timetable grid as a PDF via the Makkah Bus channels; this page does not restate a headway the published sources do not fix. For today’s exact departures, use the Makkah Bus app — RCMC publishes each route’s full timetable grid as a PDF, and this page summarises its pattern rather than reproducing hundreds of departure times.
