Oman to finally have Meter Cabs
Plans are in the final stage for implementation to bring into effect a new stage of having to put order into the taxi cab business in the Sultanate of Oman.
Oman will finally have its own taxi cabs equipped with GPS, fully functional air-conditioned, and communication-enabled. After complaining for several years against bad drivers, unconditioned inappropriate vehicles and of miscommunication with the drivers, the customers have been releaved.
There are now exactly over 60,000 taxi cabs in the Muscat Governate and over thousands more all over the Sultanate of which only 10% that this project will cover in it's first phase which is likely to be in the beginning of 2007 or by the end of the first quarter of 2007.

well its nice, although it kills the small entrepreneur who runs his own cab but brings a systematic cab system for the people at large
well in UAE it hurt the cab drivrs entrepreneurial spirit, but in US cab drivers stil work under companis an make a good enough living. So lets see whats the model that oman installs, plus in Oman a number of drivers are also nationals so they will have liberal poicies.
