Does the Lack of Public Transport Benefit the Tourism Industry?
For a country that is relatively economically developed compared to some of its neighbors , Jordan does pretty terribly in one area: the provision of comprehensive and timely public transport. Some of the country's population centers are served by minibuses, but they are often available during daylight hours and leave only when full. For tourist destinations not near any towns of significant size, there may or may not be a couple of buses a day at odd hours. For the traveler with limited funds and time, Jordan might as well be the least convenient location to travel in the general region.
