The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) says event organizers should consider using its ‘Park and Ride’ system to prevent significant traffic challenges.

The JUTC pointed to the “Intimate” concert in St. Ann on Saturday, which resulted in a massive gridlock in several areas.

Motorists experienced bumper-to-bumper traffic from the Edward Seaga Highway leading to the Mammee Bay round-a-bout.

There was also congestion from Ocho Rios leading to the Mammee Bay round-a-bout and from the round-a-bout to Plantation Cove where the concert was held.

JUTC’s Communications Manager Shantole Thompson says the situation underscores the urgent need for better transportation coordination across the island.
