AMMAN — Public transportation fees will not be amended as a result of the reduction in fuel prices, according to Director General of the Land Transport Regulatory Commission (LTRC) Marwan Hmoud.
In a statement, he explained that reduction in fuel prices “have not reached the level that dictates a change in transport fees”.
Hmoud noted that the latest amendment to transport prices was in November 2012, adding that the LTRC reviews the fees each month, taking into account fuel prices and inflation.
Fuel cost accounts for 30 to 35 per cent of the total transport operational costs, official figures show.
