The Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Masoud bin Muhammad Al-Qahtani, explained that the project, which is one of the modern and clean means of transportation, aims to serve students and employees and facilitate the process of their transportation between deanships, colleges, classrooms and every building on campus.

King Abdulaziz University has introduced, since 2012, a new service to help students move between buildings and various sections within the university wall. The service is provided at a nominal price of (2 riyals) only where the Department of Student Affairs agreed with a company to do this service for all students without exception, while it was previously provided to faculty members only. This service facilitated a large number of students to move with their books and luggage, needed in laboratories and applied classes, in addition to supporting a large number of pregnant students.
