JUTC Bus Drivers On A Crashing Spree
Drivers of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) buses are infamous for the rough-shod manner in which they often drive these buses on the busy streets of Kingston, St. Andrew and St. Catherine. Not surprisingly, according to a report in today’s Jamaica Observer newspaper, JUTC buses have been involved in 852 vehicle accidents since January 1 of this year.
While many independent observers may say that many of these accidents are likely due to excessive speeding and poor driving, the relevant authorities have reportedly indicated that the size of the buses has been a key contributory factor towards the high accident rate.
