Share

The Jamaica Urban Transit Company’s JUTC Rural Express routes, promise to be a game changer for the industry, providing a comfortable and convenient travel option for rural commuters.

Commuters will now have access to express connections from Kingston to Ocho Rios, Montego Bay, Negril, Mandeville, and May Pen.

To celebrate the new premium routes, the JUTC has implemented an introductory fare of $2,000 per trip for long-haul routes, while the May Pen service will cost $1,500 each trip. The service will be offered six days per week, morning and evening.

Speaking at yesterday’s (Wed) launch of the express service at the Half-Way Tree Transport Centre in Kingston, Transport Minister Daryl Vaz said that this is a great introductory fare because it is generally affordable for rural residents.
