The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) generated $1.3 billion in revenue between April and September this year.

The disclosure was made by Transport Minister Daryl Vaz at a post-Cabinet press briefing yesterday.

He explained that the JUTC has been recording increased revenue as it expands services islandwide.

Mr. Vaz outlined that revenue increased by 24 per cent, or $343 million, when compared with earnings for the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 fiscal years.
