GAM launches public transport trip planner via Google Maps
Ammon News - The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) announced the launch of a trip planning feature for public transport operated by Amman Vision Transport Company, including the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Amman Bus, through the Google Maps application. The new service allows residents and visitors to plan trips using public buses with greater ease and flexibility, an important step toward enhancing the public transport experience and advancing the digital transformation of mobility services. Yousef Shawarbeh, Chairman of the Greater Amman Municipality Committee, said this marks the first initiative of its kind in Jordan and places Amman among the first cities in the region to integrate public transport data with global digital mapping platforms. He explained that the feature provides real-time information on bus routes, departure and stop times, and route connections, contributing to improved commuting efficiency and increased reliance on public transportation. Shawarbeh attributed the achievement to the sustained institutional efforts of GAM personnel under a comprehensive development plan to modernize public transport services, adopt smart systems, and apply global best practices in urban mobility. He noted that the initiative falls within the framework of the "Amman Smart City" strategy, which seeks to integrate technology and smart city applications across various municipal services, particularly in public transport, thereby enhancing infrastructure efficiency and aligning with digital transformation objectives.
