Confusion about the Abdali bus station.

There are some posts on the internet saying that the Abdali bus station has closed. The Abdali JETT bus station as shown above is not closed. Another bus station, also called Abdali bus station (but for smaller buses) closed some years ago. This bus station was situated about 1 km SE of the Abdali JETT bus station, also on King Hussein Street. There was a market at the bus station on Fridays. Most of the smaller buses that used to leave from this station now leave from the Tabarbour bus station. The map below shows these two Abdali bus stations.
