Khaberni - The CEO of Modern Amman Vision for Transportation, Mohammad Lemun, said that today, Tuesday, the eighth line of the rapid bus was launched within the capital, as the buses operating on it are fully electric.
Lemun added, during statements to "Al-Mamlaka" channel, that these buses are environmentally friendly with zero carbon emissions, which is required by modern sustainable transportation and the ongoing development in the transport sector in the capital Amman.
He pointed out that transportation via electric power is environmentally and economically sustainable, as it saves time and effort for the government sector and citizens, and serves all sectors.
Lemun explained that this line represents a revival of the old Raghadan tourist complex, noting that launching this line from this site will serve many areas that were not previously served by the rapid bus, passing through Raghadan tourist complex, then Al-Marbat Bridge, Tariq area, the Sports City, and reaching Sweileh.
He noted that 15 buses operate on this line, with a frequency of every 20 minutes, which helps reduce traffic congestion on roads that are crowded during peak times.
Lemun confirmed that the Amman Municipality aims to increase the number of buses to cover the local need of the citizens in Amman city, especially university students and employees.
He pointed out that there is a direction to purchase an additional number of buses to increase the fleet on all routes.
Lemun mentioned that Modern Amman Vision currently operates 8 rapid bus lines, with a total of 352 buses working within the Amman Bus and Rapid Bus system, providing services in the capital Amman, Zarqa, and Madaba.
