A student’s budget for transportation may depend on how far he/she lives from the University.  If a student is living in Al-Khoud  a place nearest to SQU) the fare will range from RO .300 - .500 baiza only.

Licensed taxi are painted in orange and white and do not use a meter. Taxis work on two bases: ‘engaged’ which means you take the taxi for your own ride till you arrive to your destination.  This option is of course more expensive.  The other base is  known as ‘shared’ in which you can have other passengers riding the taxi with you which makes the fare cheaper.
