Going around in Amman -- not a car owner

Dexterlab83Guest14 April 2017 11:55:33

G'day!

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend

I'm wondering what's the best way to go around in Amman if you aren't a car owner? Any experiences with Uber or Careem?

Any suggestion would be great ...

Cheers

Hi Dexter!

I have been living in Amman for past one and half year.

Public transportation is not convenient in Jordan. Your only options are taxis. I use easytaxi most of the times since they don't charge you cancellation fees if you were to cancel the trip. Careem and Uber charges 2 JD for cancellation of the trip. I find Careem expensive compared to easytaxi and uber. So easytaxi is the best option for me.

I hope that was helpful.

Cheers mate

I heard of all the options (uber, careem, and easytaxi) and I'm glad that someone pointed out the best of them... Will get easytaxi on my phone...

Hello, I am also moving to Amman, and have questions about the public transport. Is easytaxi an app you get? Like uber? And do you know roughly how much it would cost for a ten minute taxi ride?
Thanks very much!
