TO SPECIAL - Transit Buses in Jamaica
Sometime in late July to mid-August I made a trip down to Jamaica and ride transit buses by the Jamaica Urban Transit Company. Here in this video, you get to see different types of JUTC buses and a couple of rides on these buses. The JUTC is the government owned public transport service operating within the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region (KMTR), Spanish Town and Portmore.
The company is headquartered in Rockfort, Kingston with its primary hubs being the North, West and South Parades (NWS Parades) in Downtown, Kingston, the Spanish Town Bus Terminal and Half Way Tree Transport Centre, in Half Way Tree, Saint Andrew. Main terminals utilised by the JUTC include: New Kingston, Cross Roads, Portmore Downtown and Spanish Town. The company has also expanded and currently exploring smaller operations to towns on the north coast of Jamaica, like Ocho Rios and Montego Bay.
The Jamaica Urban Transit Company now has a fleet of more than 400 buses. The buses are yellow in colour with the Jamaican flag on the front of the bus. The older fleets are white in colour and are currently being phased out. The buses had drivers and conductors to collect fare; however, with the new fleet in 2009, the roles of conductor was merged with that of driver. The buses now have automatic fare collection machines as of 2013, with the intention to implement a cash-less system. The JUTC also compete with the private owned route buses and taxis; which operates on sub-franchised routes provided by the company. Legally, the JUTC is the only provider of transit services in the KMTR.
This video also features Knutsford Express. The Jamaican version of Greyhound.

The quality of the images may be horrible but the message speaks volume. Hopefully this video will be produced for the Jamaica Urban Transit Company's advertising. Contact us!

Jamaica Omnibus Services (JOS) Bus Making A Comeback?
I took this Jamaica Omnibus Services (JOS) bus on the Cayuga USA map. As I can recall according to what I've heard the older people say, JOS was the predecessor to the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC). This repaint was a close as I could get to the real thing. I wasn't actually born back then. Had a bit of a fire along the way; according to the lights on the dashboard. Was able to extinguish it though, so the bus was able to continue to its destination.
Thanks for watching and please enjoy.

New York MTA, New Jersey Transit, JOS (Jolly Joseph) JUTC Buses
Some of the older Jamaicans in Jamaica or the US might remember the days of the JOS (Jolly Joseph) buses. I used to hear a lot about them. I decided to make this video in tribute to that bus company. I couldn't find enough pictures of JOS buses so I had to add some others as well as repeat some pictures of the JOS buses. Former drivers of the JOS buses might be driving for these other bus companies
The pictures aren't mine. They are courtesy of those people who uploaded them to Google, Flickr, and some forum where some people uploaded pictures of New York MTA buses. There might have been other sites too. If you see your picture here, the shout-out goes to you for making your pictures available.
I don't own the song either. Thanks to the person who uploaded it. Please feel free to rate and comment. Now please sit back and enjoy the video
