In an engaged taxi, the driver can not take any more passenger but in a shared taxi, the driver will usually get more passengers who need to go along the same way.

The major taxicabs in Oman are usually 12-seater Toyota vans which able to carry many passengers to the same destination in one trip and this type of cars are also usually used in “shared” taxi operation. Most taxicabs in Oman are usually yellow models of Toyota or Nissan.
