Saudi has to plan for train facilities for long distance trips.
Driving more than 1200 kms @ speed 120 - 140 and without proper place to rest is not at all easy. this is serious issue. thousands die in road accidents, long drive, accident due to sleepy drivers. some urgent and reckless drivers causing accidents. installing cameras and earning money on speed cars by traffic dept isn't enough. there should be a plan to stop such risky drivings.
train service can save 90% of lives which lost in road accidents in Saudi. Still Saudi isn't caring on this issue. may be they will plan after 25 years same like what they did in case of metro train.
