Buses Ready But Drivers Missing | Jamaica News

Montego Bay Metro’s student bus routes are in crisis—not because of missing buses, but because of a crippling driver shortage that’s leaving kids stranded.

Schools like Spot Valley High and Green Pond High are feeling the pinch, with students missing reliable rides they’ve come to depend on.

With communities relying on this service and alternatives scarce, the real challenge is filling the seats—literally and figuratively—with qualified drivers.
