AMMAN — Minister of Transport Ahmed Maher Abu Al-Samen said
Thursday during a meeting he had with Minister of Digital Economy and
Entrepreneurship Ahmed Al-Hanandeh that if the unlicensed ride-share companies
continue to operate without accountability, they will negatively affect the
continuity of the sector’s work in the medium and long run, according to
Al-Mamlaka TV.

Abu Samen said that the government had agreed to license six
ride-share companies, which employ about 13,000 Jordanians, while the number of
unlicensed such companies is estimated at about 28, most of which operate from
outside Jordan, which negatively affects ride-share application companies and
yellow taxis, which will not be able to fulfill their financial obligations in
light of the unfair competition from such companies that operate without
licenses.
Abu Samen stressed the need to work in accordance with the
law and take strict measures to stop tampering with the ride-share app
transportation sector, as this harms companies and drivers who abide by the law
and the collection of taxes and fees.
Hanandeh said that encouraging public transport through
smart applications should serve three main goals: organize individual transport
sector, improve the level of service, and create job opportunities.
He also pointed to the importance of benefiting from smart
applications to improve the level of services offered by workers in the sector
through training and rehabilitation.
