KINGSTON, Jamaica — Opposition Spokesman on Transport, Mikael Phillips has asserted that the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) is in the worse state it has been since it started operations nearly 30 years ago, citing that the state-run bus company has chalked up losses of over $100 billion in 10 years.

Phillips made the assertion in the House of Representatives on Wednesday during his contribution to the Sectoral Debate.

“For a decade now, the JUTC has been languishing in the hospital’s accident and emergency department, left on a bench without even a bed,” said Phillips.
