Amman studies bus and metro expansion
The article discusses Greater Amman Municipality's study on expanding the rapid bus transit routes in the Jordanian capital, as well as exploring the possibility of implementing other public transportation options such as the metro. Studies indicate that the rapid bus currently serves around 120,000 people daily, amounting to approximately 36 million trips annually, and has proven effective in facilitating mobility. A new route project is also underway, beginning from the station complex, passing through Wadi al-Rumm, and the Middle East Roundabout, reaching Airport Road, and connecting with an overhead bridge project. The municipality is conducting economic feasibility assessments and considering future transit options like light rail and metro, noting that the cost per kilometer for light rail ranges between $20 million and $30 million, while the metro could cost up to $120 million per kilometer.
