He said that the number of public transport
buses in the kingdom is estimated at 5,500, stressing the urgent need to
activate the passenger transport support fund, as stated in the law regulating
passenger transport in 2017, Khashman said in a statement to Al-Ghad News.
He also called for canceling the investment
allowance imposed on the operating companies to support them and to develop and
maintain the sustainability of the work of the transportation sector.
Khashman confirmed that the implementation of
the decision concerning the operational life of public transport buses has been
postponed until the end of 2023. The decision stipulates the need to replace
buses that are over 20 years old.
It was reported that public transport buses
pay an annual lump-sum tax of 135 dinars for large buses and 110 dinars for
medium-sized buses.
