The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) was established in 1998 under the Public Passenger Transport Act to operate public passenger transport in the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region (KMTR). Initially the JUTC began by operating the school bus service in September 1999 and in 2000, another franchise, CONURBAN which operated in the Papine and Spanish Town areas, was taken over by the JUTC. Negotiations between the Ministry and the National Transport Cooperative Society (NTCS) concluded on March 7, 2001 with the Ministry taking over that franchise.  A full take-over of the KMTR took place on April 23, 2001.
