AMMAN — Public transport fares will go down by 10 per cent as of Sunday, Land Transport Regulatory Commission (LTRC) Director General Marwan Hmoud said Saturday.

The decision was taken after the LTRC board, chaired by Transport Minister Ayman Hatahet, completed a review of the operational costs of the different means of public transport.

The review examined the impact of the change in the prices of petrol and diesel on operation costs. Accordingly, the taxi rate per kilometre will drop and taxi drivers must adjust their meters within two weeks, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
