Amman Bus Rapid Transit (Arabic: الباص سريع التردد, romanized: al-Bāṣ Sarī‘ al-Taradod) is a bus rapid transit transportation system in Amman, Jordan.

Construction work on the BRT system started in 2010, but was halted soon after amid feasibility concerns. Resuming in 2015, the BRT system's routes were gradually inaugurated starting 2021. Another BRT route connecting Amman with Zarqa started operations in May 2024.

The BRT system in Amman runs on 2 routes: the first from Sweileh in northwest Amman to the Ras Al-Ain area next to downtown Amman, and the second from Sweileh to Mahatta terminal in eastern Amman. Both routes meet at the Sports City intersection.

Ticket price for both lines are currently at 0.55 Jordanian dinars (around $0.78), bought either online via the Amman Bus mobile application or as a rechargeable card in major terminals and recently via Visa Cards with an additional 0.09$. Passengers scan their cards or QR codes on phone when boarding the bus, where the price ticket is subtracted from the available balance. The buses are air-conditioned, accessible, monitored with security cameras and have free internet service.
