The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Sharjah has signed an agreement with the Governorate of Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman represented by the Omani National Transport Company (Mwasalat) to operate passenger transportation trips via buses daily between Muscat Governorate and the Emirate of Sharjah.

The new service aims to expand and strengthen the international bus transport network between the Sultanate of Oman and the United Arab Emirates, enhance tourism movement between the two brotherly countries, and provide the greatest possible amount of comfort, time, and transportation options for travelers.

Eng. Yousef Khamis Al Othmani stated that the agreement comes within the framework of enhancing cooperation between the two sides to serve the logistics sector.
