Amman Bus will not allow passengers on board without downloading the Aman mobile application as of Monday, announced the transport company on Saturday.

“We inform you that starting tomorrow Monday 2020/8/24, downloading the safety app will be mandatory to benefit from Amman bus services, so all users please make sure to download the app whether before getting on the bus or while boarding using the free internet on Amman Bus, where inspectors will make sure all passengers with smartphones download the app to keep you safe and healthy," said a statement on Amman bus’s official Facebook page.

"Adherence to preventive measures is a national duty. We ask all Amman Bus users to cooperate."

Jordan’s Prime Minister, Omar Al-Razzaz, had issued a circular to all governmental institutions on August 12, ordering all employees and government visitors to download the safety application and wear masks.
