Jamaica Urban Transit Company Limited
The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC), a government-owned public transportation provider, began operations in July 1998 to bring structure and reliability to the chaotic transit system in the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region (KMTR). Since its inception, the company has significantly modernized its operations and expanded its services.
In its early days, JUTC was known for its white Torino buses, each staffed by a driver and a conductor. However, with the 2007 introduction of single-operator buses and electronic fare systems, conductors were mostly phased out, except on articulated buses. These upgrades, along with the addition of air-conditioned buses and the eventual switch to yellow buses bearing the Jamaican flag colors, marked a new era of comfort and modernization in public transport.
To provide a customer-oriented, safe, reliable, modern, cost-effective transportation service through teamwork and good conditions of employment.
