Minister of Transport and Logistics inspects electric scooter used for first time in this year’s Hajj season

Minister of Transport and Logistics, Eng. Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser, has inspected the electric scooter being used for the first time in this year’s Hajj season. The Minister was briefed on the workflow of this device and the method of training pilgrims to use them.

It is noteworthy that the scooter is one of the modern modes of transport that the transport and logistics system seeks to expand in various modes of transport to serve pilgrims. The scooter aims to shorten the travel time between the holy sites. The distance it travels between Arafat and Muzdalifah is 15 minutes, compared to an hour walking on foot. Its suitability for use in the coming years will be assessed.
