Oman today_ Oman’s Ministry of Transport has announced that, starting from April 1, 2025, all drivers of traditional taxis (white and orange) will be required to register and operate through authorized online transportation platforms. This decision aims to modernize the public transportation network and enhance taxi services across the country.
With these changes, traditional taxis in Oman will integrate into digital platforms to provide higher-quality services and ensure transparent fare rates for passengers. This initiative also makes it easier for passengers to access taxis via transportation apps and represents a significant step toward digital transformation in this sector.
While some drivers have expressed concerns about the potential impact of these changes on their income, passengers have welcomed the move, viewing it as a positive step toward improving the quality, safety, and convenience of transportation services.
This new policy not only reflects Oman’s commitment to progress and innovation but also paves the way for the modernization and digitalization of its public transportation system.
