Description: 
Service drivers operating the Gardens - Khalda route in Amman demonstrated in Mujama al Shamal to protest against the unfair competition of minibuses drivers. The minibus drivers who operate the Zarqa - Sport City line, have turned to operate on the Gardens - Khalda line in the morning, therefore depriving service drivers of a lot of customers and causing them massive financial losses. Greater Amman Municipality and security services have promised service drivers to solve the problem in the coming days.
