MUSCAT, AUG 11
The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology (MoTCIT) has invited local and regional digital platform and smart application companies to an introductory consultative meeting on a planned digital platform for purchasing electronic tickets for public transportation.
In an online post, the Ministry explained that the initiative is part of its broader efforts to enhance investment opportunities and strengthen private sector participation in line with Oman Vision 2040.
Scheduled for August 21, 2025, the meeting will be held at Al Midraja Hall, MoTCIT headquarters in Muscat, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon. The meeting will introduce the project concept, discuss proposed platform components and gather market insights and feedback.
First unveiled in 2023, the development of a ‘user-friendly digital platform for electronic ticket issuance” was announced as part of the Ministry’s ambitious plan to overhaul more than 30 transport- and logistics-related regulations.
The reform agenda included a revamp of the Roads Law, the implementation of safety compliance protocols for road projects, and the rollout of a digital meter application for taxis to improve efficiency and transparency.
Additionally, the ministry outlined intentions to introduce new educational transport regulations, develop a strategy for land ports and logistics centers, and establish international public transport rules. The digital ticketing platform was among the initiatives designed to modernize the sector and now forms the basis of the upcoming consultative meeting.
Interested parties can register for the meeting by August 17, 2025 via a registration link provided online.
