The 50 new buses to be added to the fleet of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) are to arrive this weekend.
Minister of Science, Energy, Telecommunications and Transport, Daryl Vaz said the vessel carrying the vehicles has entered the Panama Canal.
He said once it passes through there, it will take about two days to get to Jamaica.
He indicated that although the 50 buses will boost the fleet of the JUTC, it will not be enough to entirely fill the shortfall.
At present, the entity rolls out 164 buses daily against a requirement of between 350 and 400 buses for optimum functionality.
