Taxis: It is the best mode for travelling as they are much cheaper than in Europe and are part of the public transport system. Metered taxi is a must by law. You can also use shared taxis (White) on certain routes, Besides, there are mini and normal buses.
Public Buses: Run on specific routes and their numbers are always in Western (not Arabic) script. Unlike in Europe, you can flag buses down anywhere. Just press the button, they stop anywhere. A bus journey is costs anything between 0.45 to 0.55 JD.
Minibuses: Running on similar public bus routes, minibuses have no numbers. Instead a conductor loudly keeps on announcing the destination. They run more frequently after 7:00 pm.
Service taxis: On fixed routes you can travel by a shared taxi with 4 people. But run only after they are full. Normal fare is twice the public buses but cheaper for short journeys.

Private taxis are cleaner and time bound than public buses. Mini buses take too much time as they look for passengers all through the routes and leave the station after getting passengers. They are not as clean as well. There approximately 3,000 services and 200 low-capacity Coaster buses carrying up to 23 passengers each. There are also some 11,000 yellow taxis, largely used as public transport manner. More than 300 large buses also run but most of them are crowded and lacks cleanliness. In the absence of mass rail and bus rapid transit (BRT), visitors may find going tough.

Amman's life continues after sunset. There's dancing, dining, and drinking in all parts of the city. Although a section of the people here are still very conservative and women have to wear a veil, Amman is relatively more liberal. The local culture has taken westernization in its stride to evolve Amman's nightlife into a beast unique to itself. Cafes like Cafe Kepi on Paris Square stay open as late as 1:30 a.m. Blue Fig on Irbid Street has several bars, a restaurant, and a movie complex. Dancing and clubbing are exclusively limited to registered hotels and often come at high prices. JJ's at the Grand Hyatt is considered the best in all of Jordan.
