JUTC to reduce service during three-weekend lockdown and Easter holiday

The Jamaica Urban Transit Company, JUTC, says it will be operating a reduced service for essential and frontline staff on the weekends of the curfew and during the Easter holiday period, in keeping with the recent curfew hours by the government. 

“The JUTC will provide normal service during 5am to 8pm, on weekdays. However, the Company will provide reduced service on the weekends of the curfew and the Easter holiday period,” said Corporate Communications Manager Cecil Thoms.

He added that schedules are posted on the bus company’s website and social media pages.

“Commuters can view the schedules at our website at jutc.gov.jm or they may view the schedules on our Facebook page at Jamaica Urban Transit Company or on Twitter @JUTCLTD. We encourage commuters to familiarize themselves with the schedules. Should our commuters have any query or concerns, they may also call our Customer Care team at 888-588-2287 or our REPORT IT hotline at 876-570-1789,” Mr. Thoms noted.

The JUTC has strengthened its appeal to customers to continue to wear their masks for the entire length of their journey when using public transportation.

Noting that there is a trend for passengers to uncover their mask or take them off completely after entering a bus, Mr Thomas says he is appealign to customers desist from that practice.

"Keep your mask on, ensuring that it covers your nose and mouth and wear it for the full length of your journey until you get home. We want you to keep safe and be alive,” Thoms urged.
