Amman
LRT planned
Since the 1990s, there have been plans for a metro or light rail line between
Amman and Zarqa City. Plans seem to now be moving ahead as the Jordanian
government
invites bids for a 25 km line that would run on
the existing Hedjaz railway alignment. The line's proposed opening date is
2008. Among the invited bidders are Alstom, Bombardier and Aladdin.
A more recent report
says a commuter line between the two cities is about to break ground. Then, in
June 2005, the news was
announced - Amman
was to to build a 26 km light rail line.
