Keeping Kingston on the Move - the Jamaica Omnibus Service (JOS) 

Part of the reason for the decline in systems in Jamaica is not the government (although they are also to be blamed) - but the real reason is that Jamaicans have lost their sense of public duty and civility towards each other and loss of respect for themselves. Sad - love mi country bad still. I remember riding these buses when I was a child.

Back then Jamaica was a way ahead of a lot of countries around the world

Now JUTC struggling. Smh. This is the era when Jamaicans took pride in their work. Had self respect and discipline.

BEST BUS SERVICE JAMAICA EVER HAVE ...WHO WATCHING IN 2024

I loved J O S . I loved the neat and tidy drivers,conductresses and conductors in their green khaki uniforms. That was my sweet Jamaica when I lived Kingston in the Sixties but everything has changed. Please join me in praying for our beautiful,the best country in the world!!!

Who remembers when the bus fare was 20 cents????

Those were the days fully uniform drivers and conductor along conductresses looking real sharp like airplanes pilots and stewardess very neat

Where did we go wrong?......you bad politicians

Wow we really messed up in the 1980’s when we did not maintain this system. The politicians really messed up.

These buses were neat, clean, and on-time, up till about 1976-77. They were also not crowded, and the passengers were orderly.

Lots of people would like to see one of these Original Jolly buses in a classic vehicle show.

What a joy to behold such positive images of our people😁.

Man😢miss those jolly Joseph days, I think it was either 95 or 93 that I use to take from Duhaney Park to My school Calabar High, and I use to take the Pattie pan bus with grandma as a toddler living in Jones town, those were the good old days, then 80’s politics destroyed our sweet sweet Jamaica😢

I was born in 73 and can remember riding these buses. So much better than those damn mini buses. I also remember having to get on a minibus named "purple rain". All the noise and loud music.

Jamaica was doing well back then May Pen also had city buses running from May Pen to Denbeigh

I remember JOS from the 1970s. My brother kept a box of the colorful bus tickets. There was a different color ticket for each ride stage.

Was watching this video on j.o.s & seeing them back in the days brings back so many childhood memories those buses were very good. specially the ones that came in the 60's .i rode the L series & patty pan up on till mid 90's. The L bus is the best looking ever came to Jamaica specially at night when they light up the bullboard

If you have never ridden on a JOS bus, you need to be addressing me as sir. I enjoyed this content. Brought back memories of a good period in Jamaica

I remember those good old Days of the JOS, the double decker,Morning Star and King Alfonso and also the Blue Danube Buses
