Jordan has three types of public transportations: buses, shared Service Taxis, and yellow Taxis (caps). In Amman, there are many buses which go all around the city, and their fees are considered to be really cheap; less than 1 JD. So, it’s just a matter of finding the right bus. Two major bus systems are currently operating in Amman: the Amman Bus and the Amman Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). The two modern transportation systems provide efficient, reliable, and comfortable mode of transportation for residents and visitors alike.

Yellow taxis (caps) are inexpensive and often the most convenient form of public transportation in Jordan, even over substantial distances, such as the trip between Amman and Aqaba. Private taxis are painted yellow; they can be taken from ranks outside larger hotels or hailed in the street. Taxis have meters, but these are not always used at night, so it is advisable to agree with the driver the cost beforehand. The same applies on long journeys.

The new forms of taxis such as UBER and CAREEM are becoming popular in Jordan. Younger people prefer UBER and CAREEM taxis for their flexibility and brand-new cars! It is considered appropriate for a woman to sit in the back seat of the taxi, even when she is the only passenger; a man, on the other hand, should sit in the front. Tipping is not required, but it is customary to add an extra amount to the price of the meter.
