Transport Minister Daryl Vaz says the 100 new Compressed Natural Gas, (CNG) buses which were promised last month arrived on the island this morning. 

The buses will be added to the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) fleet. 

The minister announced the arrival of the buses on his X formerly Twitter page, noting that they are among improvements to public transportation he promised earlier this year. 

According to the minister, this is the largest investment in vehicles for the public transport system without the use of loans.

He said the shipment brings the total number of buses procured for the JUTC  since last year to 170.
