New app to allow public transport commuters to file complaints with ministry

AMMAN — The “My Transportation” application will allow public transport commuters to report any complaints, creating a database to help decision makers in the transport sector, according to an official. 

Jordanians have long struggled with public transport. The unavailability of means of transport, absence of scheduled buses, and “mood swings of some taxi drivers” are believed to be deterrents to women joining the labour force, according to observers. 

Despite the fact that Jordan has one of the highest female high school and university education rates in the region, women’s participation in the labour force is declining, with poor public transport shouldering a portion of the blame.
