The Oman National Transport Company, Mwasalat, has seen a record number of passengers carried in a single day since it was established.
The company counted 18 thousand passengers on the first day of Eid al Fitr this year. The total number of passengers on board Mwasalat buses during the Eid holiday (5 to 9 July)
amounted to 72 thousand passengers in total, with an average of more than 14 thousand passengers a day.
The Ruwi-Mabelah route tops the list for volume of passengers during the Eid holiday with more than 30 thousand passengers carried, followed by Ruwi-Wadi Al-Kabir with 13 thousand and Ruwi-Ameraat with almost the same numbe. Over 11 thousand passengers travelled between Ruwi and Muscat, and more then 4,000 between Ruwi and Wadi Aday
Mwasalat plans to operate a new route across Khoud-SQU-Sahwa Tower during the third quarter of this year, and will also launch a Muscat-Duqm route during the same period.
Mwasalat recently increased the number of trips to Salalah during the Salalah Autumn Festival 2016. From the third day of Eid al Fitr (9 July) it has been running three to five daily trips, providing 225 seats a day.
