The JUTC special service for the
disabled has given many persons who lack mobility a
new lease on life. The ultimate aim of the special service
should be to provide service comparable to the level
of public transportation provided for persons without
disabilities and to cut waiting times, bringing them
as close (as is practicable) to the times of the regular
service.
Special units are currently serving two routes. These
are as follows:
| 1. |
Route name: Portmore – Constant
Spring via Half Way Tree. Passenger transfer point
– Half Way Tree.
i) Route Number: 101
|
| 2. |
Route name: Harbour View – Papine via
Half Way Tree. Passenger transfer point –
Half Way Tree.
i) Route Number: 102

Route 101 runs out from the Portmore depot, while
the 102 operates from the Lyndhurst Depot. The routes
“meet’ at Half Way Tree where passengers
coming from Portmore (101) wishing to go to Harbour
View, transfer to the 102, while passengers from Harbour
view (102) who want to go to Constant Spring (and environs)
transfer to the 101.
