Mwasalat to launch new bus route in Muscat

Muscat: Oman National Transport Company 'Mwasalat' announced the launch of the Northern Al Mawaleh-Al Khuwair Route, starting next Friday as part of its plan to expand the public transport network in the Governorate of Muscat.
The new route will pass by a number of vital institutions frequented by many people, as part of the belief of Mwasalat in the importance of facilitating the movement of traffic using a safe and convenient transport.
Mwasalat will operate the new route on a daily basis at a bus rate every 30 minutes from 6:00 am on weekdays and public holidays.
In October, 'Mwasalat' signed an agreement to supply new buses within cities which will be used when operating the new route. The buses have been specially designed to suit the nature and specifications of roads in the Sultanate and have low operating cost in terms of fuel and maintenance and easily and quickly for embark/disembark of passengers.
Mwasalat called for the use of public transport buses because of its economic, social and environmental importance to the individual and society, raising the level of income, increasing the various economic aspects of the Sultanate, reducing the total costs of operation of the transport sector and reducing injuries and deaths resulting from traffic accidents.
