{{Main|Jamaica Urban Transit Company}}
The [[Jamaica Omnibus Service]] (JOS) was a municipal bus system that served the Kingston metropolitan area that ran from 1953 to 1983. After being run by [[British Electric Traction]], the JOS was nationalised by the Jamaican government in 1974. It was replaced by a hodgepodge of privately operated buses, and a national bus system called the [[Jamaica Urban Transit Company]] (JUTC) was established in 1998 after complaints. The JUTC presently oversees more than 70 routes in areas including Kingston and Spanish Town.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/getting-around-jamaica|title=The best ways to travel around in Jamaica|website=Lonely Planet|first=Dierdre|last=McLeod|date=3 March 2023|accessdate=30 March 2023}}</ref>

[[Coach (bus)|Coaches]] are a notable means of travel in Jamaica; a popular privately operated coach service is the Knutsford Express. The JUTC also provides [[Charter Bus|charter buses]]. As for [[Minibus|minibuses]] and [[Share taxi|route taxis]], PPV number plates indicate licensed public transport, whereas JUTA plates indicate tourist routes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tripsavvy.com/jamaica-on-public-transport-4105904|title=Getting Around Jamaica on Public Transport|website=Trip Savvy|first=Michael|last=Hodson|date=26 June 2019|accessdate=30 March 2023}}</ref>

Having been proposed in 2019, the JUTC began testing floating solar electric buses in 2022, hoping to gradually introduce electric buses into the fleet and eventually phase out diesel buses.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://our.today/first-electric-bus-has-arrived-in-jamaica/|title=First electric bus has arrived in Jamaica|website=Our Today|first=Vanassa|last=McKenzie|date=1 December 2022|accessdate=30 March 2023}}</ref>
