The LTRC confirmed that the single-trip fare for all routes included in the new invitations has been set at 500 fils (0.50 JOD), contributing to the provision of an affordable and accessible transport service for citizens.
The Mafraq and Jerash governorates will be served through a diverse transport fleet that includes medium buses (coaches) and small passenger cars (service taxis). This approach ensures the availability of flexible transit options tailored to the needs of citizens and the nature of service demand.
Meanwhile, in the Zarqa governorate, the service will be provided through 50 small passenger cars (service taxis) to cover several neighborhoods and areas in need of regular public transport services.
In the Mafraq Governorate, the rollout includes operating 18 new routes to cover areas that have suffered from a lack or disruption of service.

These routes will be operated by 31 transit vehicles, divided between medium buses with a capacity of 12–14 passengers and small passenger cars with a capacity of no less than 5 passengers, including the driver.
In the Jerash Governorate, the tender involves operating 10 new routes, most of which will depart from the new Jerash Terminal. A total of 27 transit vehicles will serve the areas of Al-Jabal Al-Akhdar, Al-Majdal, Princess Haya Military Hospital, Balila, Thughrat Asfour, Nabi Houd, Umm Qantarah, Manshiyat Hashem, Alaymoun, Hamta, and Sakib. These vehicles are distributed between medium buses and small passenger cars to provide citizens with a more efficient and flexible service.
In the Zarqa Governorate, the service will be rendered via 50 small passenger cars (service taxis) serving various neighborhoods and zones, namely: Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah Suburb, Prince Faisal Hospital, Ja'far Al-Tayyar Neighborhood, the Northern Mountain (Al-Jabal Al-Shimali), Jrayba, Prince Faisal Mountain, Al-Ansar Neighborhood, Ma'soum Roundabout, Jana'ah Neighborhood, King Abdullah II Terminal, and Al-Majd Suburb. This deployment aims to enhance connectivity between these areas and offer suitable transport choices for their residents.
The LTRC emphasized that these invitations are part of its continuous plans to expand the public transport network and upgrade the quality of services provided to the public. By offering sustainable transport solutions for areas that lack service or have faced cutoffs, the commission aims to facilitate daily commuting and boost the efficiency of the public transport ecosystem across the Kingdom's various governorates.
The commission invited interested operators wishing to benefit from these operational opportunities to review the tender documents, terms, and guidelines within the specified deadlines, which are published on the LTRC official website in accordance with its approved procedures.
