Jamaica has a number of forms of public transportation.
Private driver
Hire a driver to make your visit more like home. Your hotel, resort, or villa can arrange for a qualified Jamaican driver with a car to take you anywhere on the island. The price will often be by the day or half day and should be agreed to before start of the trip.
Public bus
The public bus in Jamaica is very inexpensive, but expect a VERY long wait at the stop and a crowded bus. Public bus service is offered in only two cities in Jamaica:
Kingston - Jamaican Urban Transit Company (JUTC) a division of The Ministry of Transport and Works. For information call (876) 749-3196 or see them at 1 Michael Manley Drive, Spanish Town. Public transit generally goes through one or more of three central transportation hubs:
Downtown (Parade and the Downtown Transport Center).
Half-Way Tree Transport Center (uptown Kingston).
Cross Roads.
