Muscat : The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MTCIT), has urged all white and orange taxis operating in public places in the Sultanate of Oman to join licensed applications before January 1, 2024.
The licensed applications announced by the Ministry are OmanTaxi, OTaxi, Marhaba, Hala, and Tasleem.
The first phase of work on the “Aber” application includes targeting taxis operating at airports in the Sultanate of Oman. The second phase, which begins on November 1, 2023, targets taxis operating in hotels, commercial centers, and ports, while the third phase will begin on January 1, 2024, and targets all white and orange taxis operating in public places.
The implementation of the programme is based on the Land Transport Law and its executive regulations, and maximises the benefit for taxi owners through the technologies available in the applications, and the system that allows users to track and monitor the travel path while ensuring privacy and security.
