AMMAN — Head of the
Jordanian Bus Owners Syndicate
Abdul Razzaq Khashman criticized the Ministry of Transport and its minister,
Wajih Al-Azaizeh, for refusing to meet with the syndicate to consult on the
conditions of the sector and ways of supporting operators, Jo24 reported.

“We have heard
through social media that there was a subsidy that would be provided to the
transportation sector, but we were not briefed on the mechanism and how it
would be distributed.” Khashman said.
Noting that the
mechanism leaked by the ministry is neither fit for purpose or the result of
any logical study, he said that the ministry wants to support coaster buses in
the amount of JD70 per month and JD100 for large buses, which he said would be
insufficient.
Khashman called
on the ministry to reconsider the passenger transport tariff established in
2018 due to high bus prices and other operating costs.
