As a very reluctant driver who has lived in Oman for 18 years, one of the few things that REALLY bug me about this country is the lack of public transport! It is hard to explain to visitors, for example, that the national university, SQU, is not served by any kind of bus service linking it to the rest of the capital, let alone to other parts of Oman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2311943055243587440.post-15133117135479955572013-06-13T08:56:14.581+04:002013-06-13T08:56:14.581+04:00Extremely thought provoking article.U have a gr8 o...Extremely thought provoking article.U have a gr8 observation.

I'm currently in Ibri and here there are not even baize buses and taxis are difficult to catch and considered inappropriate for individual women to take. So without a car you are really stranded here and in many other parts of Oman, even in Muscat if you have nobody to take you to the main road or taxi stop in the first place. And with the heat and generally long distances and non-existing pedestrian walks, walking (or cycling in addition to cultural reasons) are out of the question most of the times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
