Jamaica Omnibus Service
The Jamaica Omnibus Service (JOS), operated a municipal bus service for the Kingston Metropolitan Area, from 1953 until it was wound up in 1983.
== Pre JOS ==
In June 1898, the existing mule car service in Kingston was phased out and a transition to electric trams, initially operated by the West India Electric Company and later by the (Jamaica Public Service Company ), was undertaken. This transition to the electric tram was completed on March 31, 1899. This tram service continued to operate, but the inflexibility of a tram service could not keep pace with a growing city, and the tram service ceased on August 7, 1948.〔Last Trams, The Daily Gleaner, August 7th, 1948. Kingston, Jamaica〕
Kingston's first bus service operated by a company called Jamaica Utilities commenced on August 8, 1948.〔Last Trams, The Daily Gleaner, August 7th, 1948.〕 Initially communities served included, Rockfort, Hagley Park, Mountain View and Three Miles. The service operated by Jamaica Utilities was unsatisfactory, mainly due to the poor condition in which the fleet was maintained. Efforts to get overseas professional advisers was rejected by the House of Representatives as were efforts to get financial support from government.〔House Rejects Move for Transport Experts, The Daily Gleaner, December 28th, 1950. Kingston, Jamaica.〕
The government eventually revoked the franchise of Jamaica Utilities,〔Has Jamaica Utilities Failed? The Daily Gleaner, May 2nd, 1953, Kingston, Jamaica〕 paving the way for the takeover of bus service in Kingston by the Jamaica Omnibus Service (JOS) on December 15, 1953.〔New Bus Co. takes over December 15, The Daily Gleaner, July 9th, 1953, Kingston, Jamaica.〕
