I'm trying to get some Classic Vehicle Clubs to make an effort to find one of these town icons hidden in the countryside & restore it back to its heyday & bring it to a classic vehicle show . Many older & young generations would love to see one of these foundation buses at a Classic vehicle show . J.O.S is a part of Jamaican Transport History . They should find & preserve one or 2 of these buses cause of their Historical Values .

That’s when life was great in Jamaica, respect was the order of the day, we respected the drivers and conductors of the legendary JOS bus system,91 and 95 out of Duhaney park,the late 70’s early 80’s they had a express that went almost all around Kingston that pass through Duhaney Park as well,😢good old days, I believe I drove on a country bus once or twice in my childhood days, I tell you the scariest ride of my life😂roller coasters ain’t got ish on a Jamaican country bus, great old days, miss them so🙏🏾🇯🇲

Everything this lady is saying is pure facts, I work on the JOS Bus from 1967-1972, I am now living in the USA, but she bring back a lot of good memories.

Those days, we respected and loved each other.

Omg she looks really good 👍🏾 for 75 God bless her 🙌🏾

I am in the twilight of my life. I just hope our people will again experience those halcyon days, in our sacred land. I am overcome with emotion when I think about our blessed land, our beautiful fourteen parishes. I wish our future generations well, just like I am grateful to our ancestors. Jamaica land we love.

"Twilight of my life", that says it all

The number 11 bus use to run from down town Kingston (Parade) to Parks Road (St Andrew). Via Red Hills Road, Meadowbrook, Red Hill, Rock Hall and eventually Parks Road. The JOS route 32 also terminated at Parks Road via Constant Spring and Stoney Hill. I also use to take the route 8 which went from down town to Water House Via three mile roundabout. Those were the days.

I was born 1957. I lived in St. Andrew I took J.O.S. Buses to school. Yes I also sound the doors made when they open. I also traveled on the diesel train from Kingston to Montego Bay.

Te bus tickets were made from litmus paper. The conductress carried a little board rack where the tickets were placed on it and strapped down by springs like a rat trap. So when you pay for the ticket the conductress tore off a ticket which left a unique tear to show you had pay. Also the tickets had different colors to determine the different stages you were travelling

Ms. Cecile is right on point . I use to live in Franklin Town and take the #23 bus . I'm 75yrs. Each bus stop had a timetable stand with a glass covering . Yes I use to give my seat to any lady who came on the bus . J O S had inspectors who usually monitor the buses to see that they run on time . Those were the days of a kinder , gentler Jamaica .

Those busses were always on time they have inspectors and the drivers had time sheet on a Sunday we take it on a drive out to the air port hope garden it was really good time

I remember Morning star bus that runs from Motego Bay to Sav also the Blue Danube bus that runs on the same route. So many memories of the good old days.

I am a previous JOS driver and watching the photos in this video brought back many memories. I previously drove Route 8 to Waterhouse, 70 to Papine, 31 to Border, 61 to Irish Town, 62 to Mavis Bank, 33 to Rock Hall, 34 to Mt Airy, 11 to Parks Rd. JOS should have never been sold 😢😢.😢

I remember my father driving one of the L buses brand new with plastic still covering the seats to pick up me & my mom when he was working rt 23 . The L bus is the 1st modern looking bus with large wrap around windshield & 4 headlights . The beauty of the L & G Buses came out at night when they turn on the lighted billboards at night & parked up downtown parade . These buses still remain the best buses ever went to Jamaica. The O bus with the sink - in windshield & the 1st batch of A bus were the buses that j.o.s & the B bus from America which was converted to use the same engine as the O bus.

Great memories , my mother was a conduct tress on the JOS bus for years until they recruit the first set of women drivers she was in that set, she use to drive the old busses, route 23, then she she drive that green one on the screen, then she drive another one, X77 the longest route, from down town to papine, she had to take the bus to the bus park at Tivoli garden every nights, then go to her house in mtn view, every one knew and lived her, thestreet guys use to love and protect her so much, my sister and I use to live with our grand mother in st mary, but every weekends we would take the other country bus she mention through the hils and valley to Kingston to spend weekends , and every holiday, we use to enjoy those days, my mom loved us soo much, she would have us sitting right beside her on that thing all day , or she would take us to hope garden and we ride all day and meet her back at the bus stop at hope road, , yes the uniform was black top with the big pockets , my mother shaped well soo she was sexy, she was ×aiiting her bus rout 23 ,to load at the corner of ward theater when a female driving driving car , got out of control, hit her and some other drivers and ductreses sdown one ductress died she broke her legs , that's when she stop driving, I remember every moment of Jo's buses, the green one on the screen, when stopped use to have a button , drivers press and the step goes doe to the ground so u could step in easy, then when u hoes it they press it it it goes up and the door closed, I use to have soo much fun, unfortunately my mother died last September at a young age of 74, I loved and miss my mother soo much

What a gorgeous lady. Hard to believe she’s 75. I remember those days very well. My bus was the 13A to Molynes Gardens. The terminus was at “Molynes Square/4 Roads”. I vividly remember many times when the bus would be full and the conductress would say “Step back, step back” to those who were still trying to get on. When nobody would step back, she would ring the bell, telling the driver to “go”, and the bus would drive off, with people hanging on to the open door, for dear life, but refusing to let go.😆😂

The Pattypan Bus goes to Jones Town.Denham Town Rock Hall because the streets were small and the bigger buses couldn't navigate those small streets.

There was another bus that was short like the Patty Pan with the door in the middle & painted Green & white with the door in the middle. It was lettered R . They operated 24 of them ,they ran the same rt as the A& F bus . These came with the infamous N bus with the rear engine . The N bus was plagued with problems ,often breaking down & catching fire . This was the bus they used to sabotage j.o.s after Manley took over . They came from 1 st batch that were made & they sent them to Jamaica with the original bad engines . British Electric Traction who owned j.o.s knew that those N buses were plagued with problems & sent them to j.os as a way to get back at Manley then left without teaching the mechanics to maintain them . The best of the N bus didn't come to Jamaica. The M bus was the last full size j.o.s got & the 1/4 million was the very last bus j.o.s got ,but sat on the Wharf for 3/ 1/3 yrs because j.o.s already went under . I was working with the Customs Dept when this happen .

Many people owned passenger buses in Jamaica. Those buses that carried the loads on the top. We called country buses. Those that came to town all went to West Street teminal. One bus was called Morning Star, others called Morning Glory, Star Liner, North Liner, and Captian Special. There were many, many other buses. After those phased out the mini buses came, but the big buses were better. Jamaica was Jamaica then.

Number 3, from Town to Constant Spring; and no:30 from town to Golden Spring; 31, from Town to Border, 32 from town to Caveliers, 35 from Downtown to Havendale. I lived off Contant Spring Rd-Cassava Piece Rd. 37 route was from Downtown to Meadowbrook; 36, from town to Norbrook. No.10 from town to Bsrbican then the 10 changed to 54. No 1, went from Town to Omara Road, no 4, from town to Pembrook Hall. The 40 went to Pembrook Hall as well. The 91 went to Duhaney Park. The 67 was from Cross Roads to Children Hospital and beyond. The 27 passed the National Stadium, 80, 8, 82, 83 84, went over the Causway to Portmore, The 40 and 4 traveled along Spanish Town Rd via Waltham Park Rd to Pembrook Hall. The 39 traveled from 6 Miles via Washington Blvd to town. We also had the Pennovaland and Bronx buses running from town via Washington Blvd to Spanish Town. Dem time deh JamaicA nice. The 13 ran from town to Molynes Gardens. The went from town to August Town. The 7 ran from Half Way Tree to Papine.

Hi: As I mentioned before the back of the bus was referred to as 'the kitchen' because that area was hotter than the other areas. The buses were 'Leyland National' and the transmission seems to be the 'Epicyclic (semi-automatic) gearbox'. There are videos online where one can view the operation of these gear boxes. It was a pleasure to see the drivers operate the transmission.

Which ones? You should try our Jamaica Bus Trivia: kareemsquest.com/bus-trivia/

I took the 39 bus to Cbar. This was from 1970 to 1973. . The bus ran from 6 miles to Cross Road. Kids pay half price.

The JOS buses were so packed that sometimes I had to stand on one foot going to school!

There were grades of JOS buses. The biggest ones were the G Bus which traversed the main drags like City center to Waterhouse #8 bus. The smallest buses were the O bus which we called Patty Pan because of their size. My bus was #8 when I was attending Boys Town at Collie Smith Drive off Spanish Town.

The number 2, 24, and 25 passed Gunboat Beach, one went to airport, one went to Port Royal,not sure which is which. The no 8 and 11 went to Waterhouse. The 16, and 17 went to Trench Town and Jones Town. Those were the Patty pan buses.
