Jamaica Transportation Services

Local Bus and Taxi Services

Jamaica Bus Services

Jamaica has a very good local transportation system which connect the various town and villages nationwide. The local transport are primarily shared taxi, buses and mini buses. The bus services run from the main center of each town and villages.

There is no bus schedule as such so getting around is more of understanding the informal running time of the buses. During peak times you will find the buses and taxis run very frequently. You will find a bus or taxi ever 10-15 minutes at peak time in most areas and 25-45 minutes at off peak times.

They will park at a main departure zone typically in the center of town close to the market area. The buses or taxi will then depart once they are full of passengers. While others will set out along the route picking up passengers as they go along. At peak times the buses and taxis can get real crowded on very busy routes in the bigger towns such as Ocho Rios, Kingston, Spanish Town Montego Bay, Negril, Port Antonio, Linstead and Port Maria. The buses and taxis run on a set route base on their license zone.
