Transport Minister Daryl Vaz has announced that six new compressed natural gas (CNG) buses have arrived on the island and are expected to be rolled out by the end of this month.

This will be done through the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC).

Mr. Vaz said the buses, which are being cleared at the Kingston Port, are among 20 units, that were ordered through a framework agreement.

He made the disclosure during a press conference held at the ministry’s Maxfield Avenue offices in Kingston where he noted that the new busses will serve Portmore, St. Catherine.

With this, residents of Portmore are expected to have more ease with getting buses from JUTC.
