What is the cheapest way to get around in Oman day to day?

Oman has no metro or passenger train, so public buses are the main option. In Muscat, buses are run by Mwasalat. Fares are charged by zone: about 200 baisa for one zone, 300 baisa for two zones, and up to 500 baisa for three zones, paid in cash to the driver. There is a period pass available through the official Mwasalat app, but the public price was not confirmed, so check the app or mwasalat.om for the current cost. Many workers also use company transport if the employer provides it, or shared taxis, which cost more. For daily travel, ask Mwasalat about a period pass to save money.
