Oman mandates taxis to register with ride-hailing platforms

gulfnews.com

Oman has set an April 1 deadline for all traditional taxis to register with licensed ride-hailing platforms. This change aims to improve fare transparency and modernize the taxi sector, which has operated independently for years. All taxis must use one of eight approved mobile platforms, such as OTaxi and Tasleem. The new rules require metered fares and digital operations, enhancing service standards for drivers and passengers. The deadline follows previous extensions, with the original date set for January 1. Unregistered taxis will be banned from operating after April 1, as Oman seeks to create a more integrated transport system.
