Chartered accountant and financial commentator, Dennis Chung says the government should get the public transport system working efficiently in order to cushion the financial blow for daily commuters.
His call comes amid the looming possibility of another fuel hike in light of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
As it now stands, the Jamaica Urban Transit Company, JUTC, is the main state-run public transportation service in the country but it has proven unreliable over the years.
According to Mr. Chung now is the time for the government to get the JUTC buses working efficiently so commuters can take advantage of the subsidized cost of transportation.
He explained that he would also recommend that the government approach transport operators and organise a strategy that could see them supplementing the public transport system in a wholesome way.
