According to the GAM, the first and second
phases of the project entail, among others, preparing engineering designs for
vital intersections in the city.
The GAM, in partnership with the World Bank,
is currently developing a plan for the second phase of the 50-km BRT, at an
estimated cost of JD140 million, to come from loans and grants.
The World Bank had said in earlier statements
that it is currently working with the municipality to implement the second
phase of the project in Amman, and that it is proud to participate in several
projects in Jordan, most importantly the BRT, with the Ministry of Transport
and the GAM.
The second phase will take the route from the
8th Circle, to Sweileh, Marj Al-Hamam, and downtown, where there is a station
for the BRT in Ras Al-Ein.
An integrated public transport system is bound
to save citizens time, effort and money, and to offer a real alternative to the
use of private vehicles for transportation that is convenient, of high quality,
takes the environment into consideration, and reduces traffic congestion.
