AMMAN-AQABA
TRUST and a similar express bus AFANA leave from Abdali station.
JETT bus station is about 5-10 minutes from Abdali. There are no stops or drop offs with express buses, so you CANNOT use it to get to Wadi Rum Junction.
PETRA, KARAK, MA'AN, WADI RUM
Mini buses South (Ma'an, Karak, Petra) are available at Wahadat Station downtown, a short taxi ride from the Amphitheatre in the opposite direction of Grand Husseini Mosque. Buses to Ma'an run late into the evening, if you missed your bus to Petra, catch one and from Amman to Ma'an, then take a taxi for 5JD from Ma'an to Petra.
To get to Wadi Rum take a mini bus to Aqaba or Ma'an (then another from Ma'an to Aqaba), get off at the Wadi Rum Junction, then take a taxi for a flat rate of 5JD to Rum Village or make arrangements to have your guide meet you. Theme: Bus

Bus stations/ depots are located in Abadali just near The Palace of Justice. Buses to direct regions around Jordon can be taken from this depot. Theme: Bus

There are a few different bus stations in Amman, which can be used to get to other tourist cities. If you tell a taxi driver that you want to go to the bus station and which city you want to go to, he will know which station to go to. The buses are cheap, or from the station you can negotiate a price with the service taxis (easier to do if you have an arabic speaker with you, because jordanian drivers are con-artists). There are a couple of different bus companies running, and different ones go to different places. The main bus operator is Jett Bus, which can be more expensive than the others, but goes nearly everywhere. Jett bus does not have a website, but these are their most current phone numbers:

 AFANA Express Bus office in
Amman (Green Sign) by Vabate
The drop off in Aqaba is in front of Dream Hotel.
Coffee, tea, mineral water and sodas available on board, buses are modern with A/C.
Once outside Amman, a movie (Arabic) is played.
The landscape through the Kings Highway is beautiful! Theme: Bus

 Abdali Bus Station, Amman by Vabate
Tip: To get to Mount Nebo, take the bus to Madaba. Mount Nebo is another 8km away, to get there take a service taxi (white car) for 1JD at the traffic round about near St. George's Church with its famous mosaic map on the floor. Theme: Bus

 Juice Bar, Amman by PierreZA
It is possible to get a public bus to Madaba, Petra, Salt, Jerash etc.
I took the bus from Petra to Amman, which was only 5 JD. To Madaba, Salt and Jerash from Amman, costs less than 1 JD.
I often saw JETT busses, but did not have the chance to use them – but, it does seem like a good option as they are air-conditioned and most probably more comfortable. Theme: Bus
