Trains back on track?

A “light rail” network could be built in Muscat within a decade if private sector helps to fund it.
The Ministry of transport and communication aims to create better bus services, rail networks and sea taxis.
Quote: “We hope that in three years, plans will be drawn up and visualised for trains in Muscat but with regards to a metro, we have not gone in-depth, unless we propose light rail to the private sector and they show interest in developing it.” Ahmed Al Futaisi, Minister of Transport and Communications.
Bus lanes, park and ride schemes, more buses and up to 7000 jobs are expected to be created under the blueprint.
