AMMAN — The Land Transport Regulatory Comission on Tuesday instructed the directorate of the Public Security Department (PSD) to intensify inspections on private vehicles that charge for transportation services, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

High penalties are stipulated in articles 24 and 29  of the Traffic Law to seize the vehicle for 48 hours or detaining the driver for one week to one month and a fine of JD100 to JD200, or both.

The move came after yellow taxi drivers protested for the second time in a week, demanding the suspension of private vehicles that work via mobile applications.
