project, effective as of 10am on Tuesday.

Last August, the Director of Public Transport and
Infrastructure Projects in the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) Riyad
Al-Kharabsheh said BRT’s goal is to cover all areas in the capital city.
Kharabsheh said that BRT’s use increased
significantly, noting that the service is overcrowded during the peak hours. He
noted that the speed of the service and the comfort of the stations are
attracting more people to use BRT.
During peak hours, buses move every two minutes to
serve citizens, he said.
Kharabsheh said that GAM seeks to extend the bus
route inside the capital city Amman to 100km, noting that 30km is already in
service, while another 50km is part of the second phase to be implemented soon.
He said by having BRT serve
all regions in the capital, the municipality hopes to make the service the most
popular mean of transportation for all Jordanians. AMMAN (JNews) — The Ministry of Public Works and Housing completed part of the Amman-Zarqa
