Idea Description: The proposal aims to implement ride-sharing platforms for sustainable
transportation in Oman. Ride-sharing platforms are smartphone applications that connect drivers
and passengers going in the same direction. This approach can help reduce the number of single-
occupancy vehicles on the road, thereby reducing traffic congestion, air pollution, and carbon
emissions. For example, Uber and Lyft have helped reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in
several cities around the world.
Challenges the Idea Is Addressing: One of the major challenges facing Oman's transportation
sector is the high dependence on private cars and the resulting traffic congestion, air pollution,
and carbon emissions. Ride-sharing platforms can help address these challenges by providing a
more sustainable transportation option that reduces the number of single-occupancy vehicles on
the road.
Benefits of Idea Implementation: Implementing ride-sharing platforms for sustainable
transportation can have several benefits for Oman, including:
1. Reduced traffic congestion and travel time
2. Improved air quality and public health by reducing air pollution
3. Reduced carbon emissions and contribution to climate change
4. Increased mobility options for individuals without access to private cars
5. Creation of new jobs and business opportunities in the transportation sector
