Mr.AymanSmadi
Amman BRT will solve three matters:
1-level of facilities that are related within
time of trip ( specific lane, definite speed,
arrival stations ).
2- the quality of the bus itself & ethical issues of drivers
3-info. And payment systems will high rise levels of services from
which , BRT capacity will increase
