In a direct appeal, the Ministry calls on all licensed land transport facilities, stakeholders, and users of transport services not to engage with the unapproved application in any capacity. It underlines its readiness to take necessary legal measures against any violations and urges the public to cooperate by reporting any suspicious activities related to the app. This cooperative approach seeks to enhance enforcement and safeguard the integrity of the transportation system.
Concluding the statement, the Ministry thanked the public for their ongoing cooperation and vigilance in supporting a safe, regulated transport environment. It reaffirmed its dedication to continuous oversight and legal enforcement to ensure that land transport services in Oman meet high standards of safety and fairness, contributing positively to the nation’s overall infrastructure and public welfare.
