Dear Editor,
The Jamaica Urban Transit Company Limited (JUTC) notes the concerns of letter writer Claudette Harris in the Jamaica Observer issue of Tuesday, November 29, 2016.
In respect of our periodic ‘Double Day’ promotions, to which Ms Harris referred, the company did not have one, as was initially planned, for the back-to-school period in early September of this year.
A number of issues, especially the limited bus run-out for some time, prompted the decision to postpone the promotion in September, and have similarly kept us from doing so since then.
But, thankfully, the run-out challenges which have beset the company for some time now are projected to change gradually between the end of December and early next year. This is because of the scheduled acquisition of the necessary spare parts to repair and better maintain the fleet, which will allow the JUTC to gloriously resume the much-loved Double Day promotion.
We certainly appreciate the heightened public anticipation for the resumption of the promotion, and use this opportunity to state that, contrary to assertions from some quarters, no decision has been taken by the company to discontinue the promotion.
The JUTC therefore looks forward to the staging of a grand Double Day early next year.
