Omani police arrested a driver in Al Wusta Governorate for illegally transporting passengers, part of a nationwide crackdown on unsafe and unauthorised transport practices.
The Royal Oman Police (ROP) stated that officials have intercepted several private drivers using unlicensed vehicles to carry passengers, a violation that poses serious risks to public safety. Legal action has been initiated against those involved.
The statement described such behaviour as reckless and dangerous, noting that private vehicles are neither equipped nor authorised for commercial passenger transport.
“These practices not only endanger lives but also undermine the integrity of the transport system and road safety standards,” the statement said.
The police reiterated their call for all motorists to follow transport regulations and use vehicles only for their intended purposes.
