The project divides the tender into two parts: one for the fare collection system and another for the operation of the bus network. Each company may only bid for one of these options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the ministry, details about the project will be provided to companies that submit a Request for Qualification (RFQ). To do so, a fee of JOD 1,000 (equivalent to USd 1,408) must be paid. The deadline for submitting proposals is November 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as BRT, an acronym for bus rapid transit, these systems are popularly referred to as \u201csurface metros.\u201d In a BRT system, buses operate separately from regular traffic, carry large numbers of passengers, and collect fares at stations or boarding platforms, which ensures greater efficiency and speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the MoIN, the tender refers to the first phase of the BRT between Amman and Zarqa. The winning company will operate the system under a public-private partnership (PPP) model, in which, broadly speaking, the selected company installs and runs the system for a set period in exchange for compensation through fare revenues.
