http://www.dawn.com/2007/05/09/top11.htm
AMMAN, May 8: A consortium of Chinese-Pakistani-Jordanian companies has won a contract to build a railway aimed at relieving congestion in Amman, according to Jordanian Tranport Minister Saud Nusseirat.
âThe consortium will build a railway line between Amman and Zarqa within two-and-a-half years at a cost of between 170 and 180 million dinars (240-255 million dollars),â the official Petra agency quoted Nusseirat as saying on Tuesday.
About half of Jordan's population of 5.7 million lives in Amman and Zarqa, which is 27 kilometres North of the capital. The new trains are set to carry 100,000 people a day.âAFP
