Mwasalat resumes operations on Dubai-Muscat route

Muscat: Mwasalat, the Oman National Transport Company, announced on Saturday that operations on Muscat Dubai route resumed.

A statement by Mwasalat said: “Operations on Muscat-Dubai route will be resumed as of today in agreement with the Road and Transport Authority in Dubai.

"Service on the same route was previously suspended soon after the accident as a precaution for the safety of passengers,” the statement added.

Mwasalat had expressed its grief and condoled the deaths of its passengers, after an accident in Dubai claimed the lives of 17 people, including one Omani and 12 Indian nationals.

The accident, which took place on June 6, killed 17 of the 31 people on the bus when it crashed into a 2.2 metre barrier in Dubai, which was meant to deter large vehicles from taking the Al Rashidiya exit from Mohammed bin Zayed Road towards the metro station.
