As schools resumed on September 9, the Montego Bay Metro Company Limited (Mo-Bay Metro) launched a dedicated bus service catering to students from Anchovy High, Cambridge High, Irwin High, Knockalva High, Hopewell High, Muschett High, Ruseas High, Spot Valley High, and William Knibb High.
The service includes morning pickups and return trips at the end of the school day.
“Since the start of the school year, Mo-Bay Metro has ensured reliable and efficient transportation option for over 6,000 students,” the company said.
“This impressive uptake marks a substantial increase of over 2,500 students compared to the same period last year, when over 3,400 students utilised the Metro service. The rise in ridership underscores the critical role of Mo-Bay Metro in addressing transportation needs within the Western Municipal Region.”
The management of Mo-Bay Metro said they were now actively working to meet the transportation demands that other schools in the region require.
“The management and staff of Mo-Bay Metro reaffirm our commitment to providing safe, reliable, and dedicated transportation services for Western Jamaica,” the bus company said.
