KINGSTON, Jamaica — Minister of Energy, Transport and Telecommunications, Daryl Vaz, has reported that Monday morning’s bus flow for the first day of the 2026/27 school year was a smooth one, especially in the Corporate Area.

During his address to the media inside the Half-Way Tree Transportation Centre, Vaz expressed how elated he was that threats of a no-movement day and rumours of a disruption in energy supply were dispelled before the morning.

“I am pleased [and] happy with what I’m seeing on the road. The public transportation is out, the JUTC and commuters are out,” he said.
