Like buses these taxis display there destinations and route numbers in Arabic so non-Arabs may have difficulty in getting around, in which case locals will point you in the right direction. Servees fairs range from 80 to120 fils. Private taxis are yellow and you'll rarely have to wait long for one. They are obliged to use their meters which start fairs at JD0.15. It is social custom that a woman travelling alone in a taxi should not sit at the front but occupy a back seat.
Men travelling alone sit next to the driver of the taxi.
Tips are not expected, although fairs maybe rounded off. There are several private bus operators that offer chartered tours to most of Jordan's tourist destinations.

Public and mini-buses connect Jordan's towns and operate at very cheap rates.
