Price: multi billion dollar project
Currently under construction, dedicated lanes for bus lines will serve as part of the new urban rapid transit. There are plans to construct three line metro system in Amman.
The first phase is two lines, red and green, connecting East, Central, and West Amman with one transit station at Amman Plaza with some connections to the Northern and Southern suburbs.
The second phase consists of a yellow line connecting North and South Amman with transit to the red and green lines at Abdali and City Hall. The project would cost more than half a billion dollars. There are also plans to construct funicular line in East Amman connecting the old downtown with Jabal al’ Qalaat. These projects should be completed by 2016 with the entire capital transportation system completed by 2025.
Amman will be connected by the Kingdom’s national rail project that will link Amman with the rest of the Kingdom and the region. It should be completed by 2013.
