People across Oman have reacted positively and taken to the streets on mass, in response to quick responses from the authorities and the ever increasing number of services being introduced for citizens and residents in the Sultanate.

Mwasalat, the country’s national transport service provider, (Think ‘the Omani TFL’ if you’re in London) recently announced the opening of new bus routes, with Salalah and Sohar soon to get internal service routes.

“This is very good news for residents in Sohar. We are looking forward to this new bus service,” said Omar Faruk, and Waseem Asim added, “This is a very good initiative. We need a bus service in the city now.” Meghanad Nayak said, “This is a good initiative. Good job in getting this service.”

“Nizwa needs such a bus service as well,” added Baja Ali. “It would do us well.” Nicole Brewer added, “That would be great for everyone in the town, and those who visit it.”

“This is good news,” added Pauline Cabildo Talla. “Looking forward to exploring Salalah by bus.” Angela Rod added, “Excellent news, congratulations to Mwasalat.”

Residents and citizens praised Oman’s public services, with some of them saying they were now going to use the Mwasalat bus services to get to work.

Fowad Farooq asked, “Are people now planning to take the bus to work?” to which Waseem Asim added, “That would not be a bad idea at all,” and Bhalchandra Joshi said, “Good going to everyone involved.” Mohammed Sabok added, “This is very good news. Thank you for this.”

Asha Tharakan Varghese said, “This is great news for us, it’s a good time for this service to be introduced.” Sukhjinder Singh said, “It is a good service from Mwasalat.”

Muscat Municipality has also been busy with the towing away of a thousand abandoned vehicles, to which Rohan Murali said, “This is good, because they can recycle these vehicles and make the areas cleaner,” while Kannan Sivaprasad added, “It is a good thing for the country. We can make all of these things reusable.”

Kumar Arvind said, “Maybe all of these vehicles will find beautiful new homes,” while Mohammed Khan Haddadin added, “There were abandoned vehicles near my home as well. They had been parked there for a month, and I am glad the government cleared them.”
