Muscat: Mwasalat has added a new stop for its Route 6 (Al Khoudh - Sultan Qaboos University - Burj Al Sahwa) at Knowledge Oasis Muscat (KOM).
The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates Madayn recently signed an agreement with Mwasalat to introduce a new stop at the Knowledge Oasis Muscat (KOM) as part of Route 6 at KOM’s bus stop.
The aim is to enhance mobility by providing a safe and accessible transportation option for individuals commuting to and from the Knowledge Oasis Muscat.
By strategically adding a stop at KOM, Madayn and Mwasalat aim to facilitate easier access and contribute to the overall efficiency of public transportation in the area.

Eng. Jaafar Al Ajmi, Director General of KOM, stated that this agreement embodies a significant advancement in fostering a conducive business environment at KOM and perfectly aligns with Madayn’s ongoing efforts to attract investments in the ICT sector.
“The agreement complements KOM’s existing initiatives in promoting a healthy and sustainable work environment, while also raising awareness on environmental preservation among the entire KOM community. Through the agreement, we aim at encouraging employees, and students of colleges and institutes within KOM to use public transportation and play a role in minimizing carbon emissions,” Al Ajmi pointed out.
Al Ajmi added that this agreement comes simultaneously with Madayn’s completion of the Ring Road project and the transformation of Knowledge Oasis Muscat into a new appearance.
The project included the construction of roads spanning 7.7 km, an 8 km pedestrian walkway, a 6 km cycling route, a 5 km sewage network, and a 6 km rainwater drainage channel.
The project also involved the installation of 286 solar-powered streetlights and the implementation of an advanced surveillance system, consisting of 51 cameras.
