Patty pan was lettered F . It was shorter than the A bus with the driver sealed off from the passengers . One was parked by my mother's house & they scrapped it . recently
I'm trying to get some Classic Vehicle Clubs to make an effort to find one of these town icons hidden in the countryside & restore it back to its heyday & bring it to a classic vehicle show . Many older & young generations would love to see one of these foundation buses at a Classic vehicle show . J.O.S is a part of Jamaican Transport History . They should find & preserve one or 2 of these buses cause of their Historical Values .
Everything this lady is saying is pure facts, I work on the JOS Bus from 1967-1972, I am now living in the USA, but she bring back a lot of good memories.
Do you know a driver by the Name of George Campbell ?. He light skinned . He's my father & drove j.o.s throughout the 60s . He talks with a slight stutter .
Interesting article, mom used to work with JOS. She is now 99 years old. We now reside in Canada. I recently found her JOS ID badge, a copy of her paystub and a recommendation letter from her employer
Te bus tickets were made from litmus paper. The conductress carried a little board rack where the tickets were placed on it and strapped down by springs like a rat trap. So when you pay for the ticket the conductress tore off a ticket which left a unique tear to show you had pay. Also the tickets had different colors to determine the different stages you were travelling
Those busses were always on time they have inspectors and the drivers had time sheet on a Sunday we take it on a drive out to the air port hope garden it was really good time
My father also drove j.o.s buses in the 60 s ,also my godmother . My father's name was George Campbell & my godmothers name is Gloria McDermott . I remember him drove one of the L buses brand new with the seats still wrapped plastic over the seat .
That’s when life was great in Jamaica, respect was the order of the day, we respected the drivers and conductors of the legendary JOS bus system,91 and 95 out of Duhaney park,the late 70’s early 80’s they had a express that went almost all around Kingston that pass through Duhaney Park as well,😢good old days, I believe I drove on a country bus once or twice in my childhood days, I tell you the scariest ride of my life😂roller coasters ain’t got ish on a Jamaican country bus, great old days, miss them so🙏🏾🇯🇲
It was rt X77 that was known as Circular . It was the M bus brand new from England or the N or L bus that did this rt . I met some of the sexiest uptown girls on this rt . Great memories riding Jolly buses .
I am in the twilight of my life. I just hope our people will again experience those halcyon days, in our sacred land. I am overcome with emotion when I think about our blessed land, our beautiful fourteen parishes. I wish our future generations well, just like I am grateful to our ancestors. Jamaica land we love.
Yes the old English grip was nickname Dulcimina from the Jamaica radio drama story that started on JBC then later on move to RJR that used to come on in the evening 😂
I was born 1957. I lived in St. Andrew I took J.O.S. Buses to school. Yes I also sound the doors made when they open. I also traveled on the diesel train from Kingston to Montego Bay.
1.Lovely memories of J.O.S. I went to Excelsior and could not get on the bus as most students packed the busses from the Terminus so we had to walk to school on Mountain View Ave! I remembered taking the #27, 23 and 22 busses! 2. I also remember remember "Bun-Up" riding on the Diesel! I remember him saying as he stepped on train saying "Repent...!" This interview brought back so much fond memories! Keep it up!😂
Ms. Cecile is right on point . I use to live in Franklin Town and take the #23 bus . I'm 75yrs. Each bus stop had a timetable stand with a glass covering . Yes I use to give my seat to any lady who came on the bus . J O S had inspectors who usually monitor the buses to see that they run on time . Those were the days of a kinder , gentler Jamaica .
That bus ,G 282 , I remember riding this particular bus in the 70s It along with L88 ran for years on Harbour View Rt & Airport Sojie used to drive L88 & him never play with that bus . One day ,my friends took L88 from Airport & when he reached The roundabout, the same speed he come up the road from Airoprt with is the same speed he swing L 88 around the roundabout till the body of the bus started rubbing on the tires ! Those L, A,G Buses wasn't no joke when the right driver driving them .
@@kareemsquest The Chi- Chi sound came from the doors when they open & close . I know every model of these buses . The silver one is the G model & the green one is the N bus . There's still a couple j.o.s buses still around .
Cecile got my attention when she mentioned “Field Marshall”. I clearly remember that bus as I too went to Ferncourt around that time, except I walked to Ferncourt. Great memories of my beloved school and those times. Thanks for the memories!!!
The Marshall's lived in Brown's Town St. Ann and had a number of these buses. Not sure about this particular bus as I wasn't born yet. But I remember as a child in the 70's when those would be parked on Sunday at the residence. Great memories 😊
This lady reminds me EXACTLY of my grandmother and her stories of what Jamaica was like back in the day. My grandmother (RIP) was born in 1928, grew up in Downtown Kingston and the stories she used to tell me as a child are identical to what Miss Cecile is saying in the video. Punctual buses, standing patiently in line at the bus stop, the orderliness of Jamaican society, trupence and "quatty" (not sure how to spell it), etc., sometimes I wonder to myself WHAT HAPPENED and how we became such an undisciplined society today. Speaking of getting licks, I don't know how things work in JA today, but back in the 80's when I was in primary school we had certain teachers with a reputation for being very strict and who would walk around the classroom with a strap around their neck. Obviously this was back in the day before child psychology was invented in Jamaica. If you were late, you got a beating. If you didn't do your homework, you got a beating. If you got the sums wrong, you got a beating. If you couldn't remember the words to a certain poem, you got a beating. If you couldn't recite your times table from 1 to 12, you got a beating. And it was no use complaining to your parents, for that meant another beating. And if your granny found out, you got another beating from her as well - up to THREE beatings for the same crime ("Triple Jeopardy")! One day after school a bunch of us boys broke into the school's storage room and raided all the new books and writing paper. I got caught after I couldn't explain to my mother where I got so much writing paper from. The conspiracy unraveled in quick succession and one by one all the parents returned the stolen books and writing paper to the school. What followed then was an Armageddon of biblical proportions as all of us got flogged to within an inch of our short lives. The ring leader got it real bad however - his mother dragged him to school by his ears and gave him such a FEROCIOUS thrashing in front of the class, that all of us "pudong a piece a bawling" in solidarity. Needless to say, I never stole anything EVER AGAIN in my entire life - not even a candy wrapper!
It’s so gratifying to see how my musings have stirred pleasant memories of “the good ole days”. Thanks for the reminder that the smallest coin after we switched to dollars and cents was in fact the one cent, not five cents - Cecile Clayton
Hi Cecile! So great seeing you! Working with you is one of my most memorable memories of Office of Administration. So glad to see you enjoying your well deserved retirement... Bless! Stanley (Archives)
I remember Morning star bus that runs from Motego Bay to Sav also the Blue Danube bus that runs on the same route. So many memories of the good old days.
@@devonrichards1286I remember Blue Danube . They had some nice looking buses . They had a Hino bus that only comes on Charters or used as a back up bus if the local built buses broke down or being serviced . Blue Danube used to go St Mary & parked on Princess St
I use to take Morning Star and Blue Danube. They went to Negril. They use to go true my community in Broughton. My teacher and I use to take it to basic school.
I am a previous JOS driver and watching the photos in this video brought back many memories. I previously drove Route 8 to Waterhouse, 70 to Papine, 31 to Border, 61 to Irish Town, 62 to Mavis Bank, 33 to Rock Hall, 34 to Mt Airy, 11 to Parks Rd. JOS should have never been sold 😢😢.😢
My father used to drive Jolly buses in the 60 s. His name is George Campbell & my Godfather was Albert Taylor . I remember my father driving one of the L buses brand new with plastic still covering the seats to pick up me & my mom when he was working rt 23 . The L bus is the 1st modern looking bus with large wrap around windshield & 4 headlights . The beauty of the L & G Buses came out at night when they turn on the lighted billboards at night & parked up downtown parade . These buses still remain the best buses ever went to Jamaica. The O bus with the sink - in windshield & the 1st batch of A bus were the buses that j.o.s & the B bus from America which was converted to use the same engine as the O bus. Many people don't remember the O& B buses that j.o.s started out with .
@RudolphSmith-pv1ro, There was an ex-soldier who everybody called Soljie that used to drive 31 to Border. I was attending Oberlin High, and we used to hop on the buses. But nobody dared hop on Soljie bus. That man was serious as a judge
J.O.S. BUS. I remember leaving school, Holy Family Primary School, we would go the East Queen Street Baptist Church. We would then take the bus down to King Street at the roundabout, in order to get a seat on the #22 bus to Windward Road/Fernandez Road, Kingston 2. It was a little joy ride for us. I was in 5th grade at the time. Left Jamaica at the age of 11years. Pretty young back then. It was different back in those days. Folks looked out for the children. We felt safe. Great memories. Love my country, My people, my culture.
I saw L 141 going through the wash,that bus ran your route for many years during the 70s ,I guarantee that you rode that bus many times . We probably saw each other on that bus . Seeing that bus while watching the jos documentary brings back pleasant kids memories. Blessings & respect.
GREAT INTERVIEW 👍 👌..I AM ONE YEAR OLDER THAN THAT LADY AND I CAN REMEMBER ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL TIMES!!!...I WISH THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF TODAY COULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT TIME IN JAMAICA 🇯🇲 ❤.
I remember Morning Star Bus I grow up in Montego Bay and I remember bun up he was called mus bun he always has his Bible and preaching also I remember Jos Bus too
Remember those Jamaican omnibus service, the bus driver and conductress wears uniforms. Left Jamaica when they were still using £.s.d,those were the good old days for us ❤
Great memories , my mother was a conduct tress on the JOS bus for years until they recruit the first set of women drivers she was in that set, she use to drive the old busses, route 23, then she she drive that green one on the screen, then she drive another one, X77 the longest route, from down town to papine, she had to take the bus to the bus park at Tivoli garden every nights, then go to her house in mtn view, every one knew and lived her, thestreet guys use to love and protect her so much, my sister and I use to live with our grand mother in st mary, but every weekends we would take the other country bus she mention through the hils and valley to Kingston to spend weekends , and every holiday, we use to enjoy those days, my mom loved us soo much, she would have us sitting right beside her on that thing all day , or she would take us to hope garden and we ride all day and meet her back at the bus stop at hope road, , yes the uniform was black top with the big pockets , my mother shaped well soo she was sexy, she was ×aiiting her bus rout 23 ,to load at the corner of ward theater when a female driving driving car , got out of control, hit her and some other drivers and ductreses sdown one ductress died she broke her legs , that's when she stop driving, I remember every moment of Jo's buses, the green one on the screen, when stopped use to have a button , drivers press and the step goes doe to the ground so u could step in easy, then when u hoes it they press it it it goes up and the door closed, I use to have soo much fun, unfortunately my mother died last September at a young age of 74, I loved and miss my mother soo much
@@joshuanixson3123 condolences on the passing of your mom. Conductresses were precious. My mom really enjoyed working there. She’s now 99 with dementia so she don’t remember much
She is telling the truth about the J.O.S. We did have to line up to go on the bus my bus # 7 Are # 6. Those were the time when people have respect for each other. Big up for the memories
What a gorgeous lady. Hard to believe she’s 75. I remember those days very well. My bus was the 13A to Molynes Gardens. The terminus was at “Molynes Square/4 Roads”. I vividly remember many times when the bus would be full and the conductress would say “Step back, step back” to those who were still trying to get on. When nobody would step back, she would ring the bell, telling the driver to “go”, and the bus would drive off, with people hanging on to the open door, for dear life, but refusing to let go.😆😂
In the 80s #22 ran from Papine through Mona, Old Hope Rd, Cross Roads to Downtown Kingston. We paid 5 cents then as students. Patty pan was used by vendors on bicycles then. Memories don't live like people do. Great interview
The number 11 bus use to run from down town Kingston (Parade) to Parks Road (St Andrew). Via Red Hills Road, Meadowbrook, Red Hill, Rock Hall and eventually Parks Road. The JOS route 32 also terminated at Parks Road via Constant Spring and Stoney Hill. I also use to take the route 8 which went from down town to Water House Via three mile roundabout. Those were the days.
This brings back so many memories of travelling on the Jos bus from Harbour View on the number 2 bus to Parade then got a bus to Halfway Tree to go to school.
I was born in the UK and my parents are Jamaican ,i live in Jamaica now but have been going from knee high to a grass hopper,my mum sent me to Jamaica age 13, and i took that chichi Bus from Mobay all the way to Portland it took all day not less than 5 Loòòng hours, i remember the bus making so many stops ,and they even put a goat on top, that bus you posted is now sitting in Port Antonio looking like a Museum Peace on the edge of the town ,great memories of that journey.😊
I remember country buses such as feild Marshall and may flower running from mobay and coming through lime Hall to Kingston those were memorable days.Great reminder 👋👋
I remember quite well taking two buses from Harbour View to get to St. Hugh’s High School. This brings back memories as she is quite correct that the JOS buses were on time. I believe she would be one year above me in school. They were good days.
Number 3, from Town to Constant Spring; and no:30 from town to Golden Spring; 31, from Town to Border, 32 from town to Caveliers, 35 from Downtown to Havendale.

No 1, went from Town to Omara Road, no 4, from town to Pembrook Hall. The 40 went to Pembrook Hall as well. The 91 went to Duhaney Park. The 67 was from Cross Roads to Children Hospital and beyond. The 27 passed the National Stadium, 80, 8, 82, 83 84, went over the Causway to Portmore, The 40 and 4 traveled along Spanish Town Rd via Waltham Park Rd to Pembrook Hall.

Don't forget the number 7 to papine up hagle y Park road 17 to Harborview 2 to windward road 27 up mountain view to university 11 to Waterhouse..along Spanish Town road 13 from cross road along Rousseau road 12 to Jones Town ...
@@cindygreen852 Yes I remember the 54 ran on Maxfield Ave. I thought the 54 took over from the 10. Thanks for the correction. Me miss jolly bus.But me hear say, ah the Rockefellers own J.O.S. Jamaica Omnibus Service.
Also, I used to take JOS bus from Anchovy to Montego Bay (attended Cornwall College in Montego Bay, St James). Lots of memories. Thank you for this presentation.
Congrats Cecille for this brilliant piece of an aspect of Jamaicas history. I was also born in 1948 so I well remember much of what is in this interview and I'm impressed with the details presented.. Congrats also Kareem for the quality of your interview!
She really brought back some real memories! Wow! My aunt took me to Kingston when I was a young boy and took me to the hospital for my ear trouble. We took the JOS buses and it was like being on the airplane for the first time. I need to mention the Fire Brigades too. The lights were so beautiful on the JOS buses.
Chi chi busses, also Patty Pan (Peter Pan) busses. Used to take the same bus from the Vineyard Town Terminus to downtown, then another from downtown to Portmore (Independence City). Also, the 27 from Mountain View Ave to downtown and thereabouts. The JOS bus network was built off the UK system. Good memories. Bless up Jamaica!🇺🇸🇯🇲 Ps. Please cover Jamaican Independence Day Festival. The Grand Gala at the stadium, the floats, the performers, the music competition. Thanks
I just found this channel. What a history Ms. Clayton gives. What a beautiful lady! She looks GREAT for her age. I love her new look too. I would have thought she was in her late 50s. I could listen to her all the time. Thank you so much Kareem for these informative programs! I'm definitely a subscriber from now on!
I’m a new subscriber I really enjoyed this interview with a true icon of Jamaica. Because there’s so many unintelligent. Jamaican on social media. I do enjoy. Please continue with your channel. Good luck. .
There was Victor bus, Mail Bus, Grey Mist, Blue Mist, Nothern Queen, Queen Mary, King Alphanso, Confidence, St Mary Special, Port Maria Special, Master Key, and Many others. Each Parish has their own bus name. Sometimes three people in the parish owned buses. It also depends on how large the parish is.
Many people owned passenger buses in Jamaica. Those buses that carried the loads on the top. We called country buses. Those that came to town all went to West Street teminal. One bus was called Morning Star, others called Morning Glory, Star Liner, North Liner, and Captian Special. There were many, many other buses. After those phased out the mini buses came, but the big buses were better. Jamaica was Jamaica then.
I use to call the "JOS" the "peng peng tush" i was a child then, and that was the sound that the bus would make in my mind, when it would stop. Lots of great memories ❤❤
My country buses were Sun Enterprise, Mail Bus, Racket(last bus at night) in St. Thomas a very famous driver was Maas Ashley who drives the 11:o clock bus. When this bus reach center cut in Port Morant coming up the hill if you hear him blowing the horn continuously you know there is a letter with money or a box of food that was given to him by my mom who lives in Kingston, for my grandmother to collect. Very trustworthy and always on time. I want back my Jamaica everything that this lady says is true. Back in kingston I remember my mother who was a police officer would take the JOS bus to work in her crisp uniform all decked out standing at the front of the bus and she was not allowed to pay any fare. Lady, thank you for bringing me back in time.
I am 67 and from Mt. Salem. I remember Bun Up for sure!! Your lady described him perfectly. I was a little scared of him when him say " Yuh Mus Bun" Thanks for the memory; I think he died in the early 1980s
What an entertaining guest! Cecile is so knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. Found this today when searching for Jamaican buses in the 1930s
Number 91 from downtown to Duhaney Park, 92 from Patrick city, 95 from Cross Roads via Washington boulevard via Patrick city to duhaney park. 39 from cross roads via red hills road to meadow brook estates. Express 77.
@@patrickwoodcock7732 Yes !! I met a lotta top tier girls on x 77 😀😀😀. It was the M bus fresh from England that did this rt . Sometimes the L or N bus did it too
Loved the old country busess. Bugle Boy Confidence, Morning Star, Treasure Girl, Treasure Queen and SOS. SOS was the bus Company out of Mandeville. They ran to St. Elizabeth and West Moreland, ( Grange Hill and Frome ). And some went on to MontegoBay.
There was another bus that was short like the Patty Pan with the door in the middle & painted Green & white with the door in the middle. It was lettered R . They operated 24 of them ,they ran the same rt as the A& F bus . These came with the infamous N bus with the rear engine . The N bus was plagued with problems ,often breaking down & catching fire . This was the bus they used to sabotage j.o.s after Manley took over . They came from 1 st batch that were made & they sent them to Jamaica with the original bad engines . British Electric Traction who owned j.o.s knew that those N buses were plagued with problems & sent them to j.os as a way to get back at Manley then left without teaching the mechanics to maintain them . The best of the N bus didn't come to Jamaica. The M bus was the last full size j.o.s got & the 1/4 million was the very last bus j.o.s got ,but sat on the Wharf for 3/ 1/3 yrs because j.o.s already went under . I was working with the Customs Dept when this happen .
The JOS No. 11 Bus Route: From Parade, along Spanish Town Road, Maxfield Ave to HWT, HWT to Red Hills, but turning off into Sterling Castle/Coopers Hill, then to Rock Hall, then terminate at Parks Road in St. Andrew. As a child, I use to ride all the JOS Bus routes just for fun.
I remember the "Star Liner" and the " Forest Light" buses traveling from Ginger Ridge en route to Kingston through other communities ❤😂 Yes, the Chi chi sounds.
Hi: As I mentioned before the back of the bus was referred to as 'the kitchen' because that area was hotter than the other areas. The buses were 'Leyland National' and the transmission seems to be the 'Epicyclic (semi-automatic) gearbox'. There are videos online where one can view the operation of these gear boxes. It was a pleasure to see the drivers operate the transmission.
I am 70 years old, and I remember a little about Bun Up 😂. He was always preaching on the streets of montego Bay. Some of the time he would pick on nicely dress young women, walking behind them preaching( the lard sey fe tell you ect.---him ?? Warn you long time ,if you no come -- a bun you affy bun.😅.) He was most times dressed in white long sleeve shirt,tie and black pants,with a Bible.
I go to the JOS bus stop at Purity bakery on Redshill road at 6.00 am to Bumper hall STATHS and reach ar 8.30 and hold a dention from the Prefect at the gate..that made me buy my first car after my 6th pay cheque..that prefect became a Air Jamaica stewardess.
GLORY be to God for having this memory of the Jos buses she is so true right on every thing I use to travel on most of these routes when living in Kingston GOD bless you lady wonderful memory
When i was teenage living inthe countryside there was a bus name morning Star i came from Westmoreland to kingston so if you are going th Kingston people would have to be at a place name White house At five o clock in the morning to board this bus to town i Remember the field marchell bus that was back in the good old days
Morning Star, Hall's Transport and Blue Danube were the busses that came down in the mornings from the Cascade direction thrugh Jericho and on to Lucea, and returned in the afternoons (one of them might have been in the opposite direction). --Æ.
Lady I'm so grateful for you, you really don't know what I just learned. You're a wonderful person ❤️ . so happy to catch up back on those things. great learning. great full 🌕🌛🥲😊👍😁🪝🫴🔙😃🌝
Hail Kareem. If I remember correctly, country buses were built locally on the frames of trucks like the Leland, Bedford, and Commer trucks. JOS or Jolly Joseph buses were imported from England.
I've been hearing a lot of that as well. Will definitely want someone to expound on it because that would be interesting to know that we built our buses
Big Respect to you for highlighting the use of the elders , and all the same to the elder for sharing, vineyard town was the cherry garden those days,what number 2 avenue did you live, 8 bus down town Olympic garden 15 cross road to Olympic garden 11 bus doney park , my sister Lucille douglas at eight 89 years old in two thousand ten was a conductress in 19 62 to some time in the seventy,
34b and 34c Golden Spring to mt Airy and Constant Spring Those were the good old days. We would take the express to the airport and back . Our bus drivers Charles, miss Lindo can’t remember the name of the rest . Love those days

Do you know Miss Taylor on the #23 Franklin Town route?
Hi, My Grandmother was a conductress as well
My mom was a conductress on the 91 bus duhaney park to parade in the 70's
Omg she looks really good 👍🏾 for 75 God bless her 🙌🏾
That's how people who take care of themselves look. There is no excuse to be old looking before you feel old.
Interesting article, mom used to work with JOS. She is now 99 years old. We now reside in Canada. I recently found her JOS ID badge, a copy of her paystub and a recommendation letter from her employer
I take the 10 bus to school 5cent was my fare😅😅
It would be nice to see your mother ID and pay stubs ETC.
@@Christlives-cv3tl are you on wattsapp?
My dad work there too he's now 81
I use the J.O.S in 1975
Te bus tickets were made from litmus paper. The conductress carried a little board rack where the tickets were placed on it and strapped down by springs like a rat trap. So when you pay for the ticket the conductress tore off a ticket which left a unique tear to show you had pay.

Exactly as you say, u use to love those buses
Remember the change machine thing they had strapped around their waist? You pay your fare and she would press on it to eject coins for your change. 😂❤
They use to have a pan where they kept the fares
Oh yes I remember children had different colors
I don’t know but I I think I remember colors of blue purple and yellow
Those busses were always on time they have inspectors and the drivers had time sheet on a Sunday we take it on a drive out to the air port hope garden it was really good time
Those days, we respected and loved each other.
From beginning to end a smile is on my face...my dad was a J O S driver....he is not here with us anymore but this brings back memories thanks for it
jolly joseph,the peoples transportation
My condolences 🙏
My father also drove j.o.s buses in the 60 s ,also my godmother . My father's name was George Campbell & my godmothers name is Gloria McDermott . I remember him drove one of the L buses brand new with the seats still wrapped plastic over the seat .
A wonderful interview with this beautiful lady. i can't belive she is 75 years young. give thanks
That’s when life was great in Jamaica, respect was the order of the day, we respected the drivers and conductors of the legendary JOS bus system,91 and 95 out of Duhaney park,the late 70’s early 80’s they had a express that went almost all around Kingston that pass through Duhaney Park as well,😢good old days, I believe I drove on a country bus once or twice in my childhood days, I tell you the scariest ride of my life😂roller coasters ain’t got ish on a Jamaican country bus, great old days, miss them so🙏🏾🇯🇲

I remembered those days of the JOS!🎉 Older person would remembered the tramp cars!!!
The conductors on the JOS were polite, spoke perfect English and qualified...
"Twilight of my life", that says it all
❤🇯🇲. That is so nice! I wish Jamaica was not so violent.
That grip/ suitcase brings back so much memories
Dolce Mina(probably spelt it wrong) suitecase💯💯🤭😃😀👏👏👏🕊✌️🇬🇧🇯🇲
Dulcilina. I think was the name..
Yes the old English grip was nickname Dulcimina from the Jamaica radio drama story that started on JBC then later on move to RJR that used to come on in the evening 😂
I was born 1957. I lived in St. Andrew I took J.O.S. Buses to school. Yes I also sound the doors made when they open. I also traveled on the diesel train from Kingston to Montego Bay.
Yes so true they were always in time diesel train i knows how the rides feel thank god I'm still around k"sons etc etc
1.Lovely memories of J.O.S. I went to Excelsior and could not get on the bus as most students packed the busses from the Terminus so we had to walk to school on Mountain View Ave! I remembered taking the #27, 23 and 22 busses!
2. I also remember remember "Bun-Up" riding on the Diesel! I remember him saying as he stepped on train saying "Repent...!"
This interview brought back so much fond memories! Keep it up!😂
You are welcome
Ms. Cecile is right on point . I use to live in Franklin Town and take the #23 bus . I'm 75yrs. Each bus stop had a timetable stand with a glass covering . Yes I use to give my seat to any lady who came on the bus . J O S had inspectors who usually monitor the buses to see that they run on time . Those were the days of a kinder , gentler Jamaica .
I used to catch 23 bus when my mom used to live on Lacy Road .
That bus ,G 282 , I remember riding this particular bus in the 70s It along with L88 ran for years on Harbour View Rt & Airport Sojie used to drive L88 & him never play with that bus . One day ,my friends took L88 from Airport & when he reached The roundabout, the same speed he come up the road from Airoprt with is the same speed he swing L 88 around the roundabout till the body of the bus started rubbing on the tires ! Those L, A,G Buses wasn't no joke when the right driver driving them .
I used to live at Sussex Lane at the corner of Elleston Rd where the bus turned on to Sussex .Small world .
I love the history. Please expand interviews with Elders and wisdom they hold. Thanks for this
You're welcome
@@kareemsquest The Chi- Chi sound came from the doors when they open & close . I know every model of these buses . The silver one is the G model & the green one is the N bus . There's still a couple j.o.s buses still around .
Cecile got my attention when she mentioned “Field Marshall”. I clearly remember that bus as I too went to Ferncourt around that time, except I walked to Ferncourt. Great memories of my beloved school and those times. Thanks for the memories!!!
Thanks for sharing!
@,jayden133: Wasn't Field Marshall owned by Wayne Mitchell/Marshall's (Tammy Chin's husband's dad?) I might have been mistaken.
The Marshall's lived in Brown's Town St. Ann and had a number of these buses. Not sure about this particular bus as I wasn't born yet. But I remember as a child in the 70's when those would be parked on Sunday at the residence. Great memories 😊
This lady reminds me EXACTLY of my grandmother and her stories of what Jamaica was like back in the day. My grandmother (RIP) was born in 1928, grew up in Downtown Kingston and the stories she used to tell me as a child are identical to what Miss Cecile is saying in the video. Punctual buses, standing patiently in line at the bus stop, the orderliness of Jamaican society, trupence and "quatty" (not sure how to spell it), etc., sometimes I wonder to myself WHAT HAPPENED and how we became such an undisciplined society today.
Speaking of getting licks, I don't know how things work in JA today, but back in the 80's when I was in primary school we had certain teachers with a reputation for being very strict and who would walk around the classroom with a strap around their neck. Obviously this was back in the day before child psychology was invented in Jamaica. If you were late, you got a beating. If you didn't do your homework, you got a beating. If you got the sums wrong, you got a beating. If you couldn't remember the words to a certain poem, you got a beating. If you couldn't recite your times table from 1 to 12, you got a beating. And it was no use complaining to your parents, for that meant another beating. And if your granny found out, you got another beating from her as well - up to THREE beatings for the same crime ("Triple Jeopardy")!
One day after school a bunch of us boys broke into the school's storage room and raided all the new books and writing paper. I got caught after I couldn't explain to my mother where I got so much writing paper from. The conspiracy unraveled in quick succession and one by one all the parents returned the stolen books and writing paper to the school. What followed then was an Armageddon of biblical proportions as all of us got flogged to within an inch of our short lives. The ring leader got it real bad however - his mother dragged him to school by his ears and gave him such a FEROCIOUS thrashing in front of the class, that all of us "pudong a piece a bawling" in solidarity. Needless to say, I never stole anything EVER AGAIN in my entire life - not even a candy wrapper!

It’s so gratifying to see how my musings have stirred pleasant memories of “the good ole days”. Thanks for the reminder that the smallest coin after we switched to dollars and cents was in fact the one cent, not five cents - Cecile Clayton
Hi Cecile! So great seeing you! Working with you is one of my most memorable memories of Office of Administration. So glad to see you enjoying your well deserved retirement... Bless! Stanley (Archives)
Wat was ur gate Number on 2nd avenue ? do u still have pictures of the place ?
Yes. The Ductress had neatly folded bills on her finger. And lots of bills too. Oh my gosh. This is pure brilliance.
This walk down memory lane with such a beautiful distinguished lady is priceless. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
I remember Morning star bus that runs from Motego Bay to Sav also the Blue Danube bus that runs on the same route. So many memories of the good old days.
Mr Thorpe and Zacky usually drives blue Danube and Starrie drive morning star in my time going school in the 1980's
@@devonrichards1286I remember Blue Danube . They had some nice looking buses . They had a Hino bus that only comes on Charters or used as a back up bus if the local built buses broke down or being serviced . Blue Danube used to go St Mary & parked on Princess St
I use to take Morning Star and Blue Danube. They went to Negril. They use to go true my community in Broughton. My teacher and I use to take it to basic school.
I am a previous JOS driver and watching the photos in this video brought back many memories. I previously drove Route 8 to Waterhouse, 70 to Papine, 31 to Border, 61 to Irish Town, 62 to Mavis Bank, 33 to Rock Hall, 34 to Mt Airy, 11 to Parks Rd. JOS should have never been sold 😢😢.😢
Glad you enjoyed
True wud, I went to Oberlin. I used to take the 31 bus to school whenever I had the fare. JOS was an excellent bus system.
My father used to drive Jolly buses in the 60 s. His name is George Campbell & my Godfather was Albert Taylor . I remember my father driving one of the L buses brand new with plastic still covering the seats to pick up me & my mom when he was working rt 23 . The L bus is the 1st modern looking bus with large wrap around windshield & 4 headlights . The beauty of the L & G Buses came out at night when they turn on the lighted billboards at night & parked up downtown parade . These buses still remain the best buses ever went to Jamaica. The O bus with the sink - in windshield & the 1st batch of A bus were the buses that j.o.s & the B bus from America which was converted to use the same engine as the O bus. Many people don't remember the O& B buses that j.o.s started out with .
@RudolphSmith-pv1ro, There was an ex-soldier who everybody called Soljie that used to drive 31 to Border. I was attending Oberlin High, and we used to hop on the buses. But nobody dared hop on Soljie bus. That man was serious as a judge

J.O.S. BUS. I remember leaving school, Holy Family Primary School, we would go the East Queen Street Baptist Church. We would then take the bus down to King Street at the roundabout, in order to get a seat on the #22 bus to Windward Road/Fernandez Road, Kingston 2. It was a little joy ride for us. I was in 5th grade at the time. Left Jamaica at the age of 11years. Pretty young back then. It was different back in those days. Folks looked out for the children. We felt safe. Great memories. Love my country, My people, my culture.
I saw L 141 going through the wash,that bus ran your route for many years during the 70s ,I guarantee that you rode that bus many times . We probably saw each other on that bus . Seeing that bus while watching the jos documentary brings back pleasant kids memories. Blessings & respect.
GREAT INTERVIEW 👍 👌..I AM ONE YEAR OLDER THAN THAT LADY AND I CAN REMEMBER ALL OF THOSE WONDERFUL TIMES!!!...I WISH THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF TODAY COULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT TIME IN JAMAICA 🇯🇲 ❤.

Great memories , my mother was a conduct tress on the JOS bus for years until they recruit the first set of women drivers she was in that set, she use to drive the old busses, route 23, then she she drive that green one on the screen, then she drive another one, X77 the longest route, from down town to papine, she had to take the bus to the bus park at Tivoli garden every nights, then go to her house in mtn view, every one knew and lived her, thestreet guys use to love and protect her so much, my sister and I use to live with our grand mother in st mary, but every weekends we would take the other country bus she mention through the hils and valley to Kingston to spend weekends , and every holiday, we use to enjoy those days, my mom loved us soo much, she would have us sitting right beside her on that thing all day , or she would take us to hope garden and we ride all day and meet her back at the bus stop at hope road, , yes the uniform was black top with the big pockets , my mother shaped well soo she was sexy, she was ×aiiting her bus rout 23 ,to load at the corner of ward theater when a female driving driving car , got out of control, hit her and some other drivers and ductreses sdown one ductress died she broke her legs , that's when she stop driving, I remember every moment of Jo's buses, the green one on the screen, when stopped use to have a button , drivers press and the step goes doe to the ground so u could step in easy, then when u hoes it they press it it it goes up and the door closed, I use to have soo much fun, unfortunately my mother died last September at a young age of 74, I loved and miss my mother soo much
@@joshuanixson3123 condolences on the passing of your mom. Conductresses were precious. My mom really enjoyed working there. She’s now 99 with dementia so she don’t remember much
This interview is pure brilliance, pure brilliance mi seh. Kareem, you are doing a fantastic job. Dedin wid laugh.
You are welcome
I grew up at 43 Langston Rd in Vineyard Town those were the best days in Jamaica ❤
Langston Rd. tun gun hawk zone ya now,bad man place.
She is telling the truth about the J.O.S. We did have to line up to go on the bus my bus # 7 Are # 6. Those were the time when people have respect for each other. Big up for the memories
You are beautiful,and you are very proud of it for 75, a blessings mi dear
I will let her know
What a gorgeous lady. Hard to believe she’s 75.
I remember those days very well.
My bus was the 13A to Molynes Gardens. The terminus was at “Molynes Square/4 Roads”.
I vividly remember many times when the bus would be full and the conductress would say “Step back, step back” to those who were still trying to get on.
When nobody would step back, she would ring the bell, telling the driver to “go”, and the bus would drive off, with people hanging on to the open door, for dear life, but refusing to let go.😆😂
In the 80s #22 ran from Papine through Mona, Old Hope Rd, Cross Roads to Downtown Kingston.
We paid 5 cents then as students.
Patty pan was used by vendors on bicycles then.
Memories don't live like people do.
Great interview
I remember those Days too I attended Barracks Road Primary School also and she is right about the gate close and the licks you would get for late
I am 78 and this brings back so much good memories. Brings a smile to my face.
I like the fact that there were pictures of the experience. Great historical events 😅
Rememberd the good old down town.In those days. I used to watch all the Buissy Buses making their way to downtown.
The number 11 bus use to run from down town Kingston (Parade) to Parks Road (St Andrew). Via Red Hills Road, Meadowbrook, Red Hill, Rock Hall and eventually Parks Road. The JOS route 32 also terminated at Parks Road via Constant Spring and Stoney Hill. I also use to take the route 8 which went from down town to Water House Via three mile roundabout. Those were the days.
This brings back so many memories of travelling on the Jos bus from Harbour View on the number 2 bus to Parade then got a bus to Halfway Tree to go to school.
Memories, Memories, memories.
I remember Cecille's family used to reside on Archambeau Road in Franklin Town.
I was born in the UK and my parents are Jamaican ,i live in Jamaica now but have been going from knee high to a grass hopper,my mum sent me to Jamaica age 13, and i took that chichi Bus from Mobay all the way to Portland it took all day not less than 5 Loòòng hours, i remember the bus making so many stops ,and they even put a goat on top, that bus you posted is now sitting in Port Antonio looking like a Museum Peace on the edge of the town ,great memories of that journey.😊
I remember country buses such as feild Marshall and may flower running from mobay and coming through lime Hall to Kingston those were memorable days.Great reminder 👋👋
I remember quite well taking two buses from Harbour View to get to St. Hugh’s High School. This brings back memories as she is quite correct that the JOS buses were on time. I believe she would be one year above me in school. They were good days.

Oh wow!
Keep up the good work. From a true Jamaican. God bless
Congrats Cecille for this brilliant piece of an aspect of Jamaicas history. I was also born in 1948 so I well remember much of what is in this interview and I'm impressed with the details presented..
Congrats also Kareem for the quality of your interview!
My husband and also my cousin were conductors on jos bus ,they had to wear Khali uniforms and badge those were the days.
I can vividly remember when school was on holidays and we used to take the country bus to the country to spend holidays with my mom’s Aunt.
Yes i remember those patty pan busses
She really brought back some real memories! Wow! My aunt took me to Kingston when I was a young boy and took me to the hospital for my ear trouble. We took the JOS buses and it was like being on the airplane for the first time. I need to mention the Fire Brigades too. The lights were so beautiful on the JOS buses.
I rode on the diesel with the preacher, Bro Vin from Siloah, St. Elizabeth to Kingston and back
So much good memories of the good ole day's gone but will never be forgotton.
Thanks for this piece of my era.
Our pleasure!
Chi chi busses, also Patty Pan (Peter Pan) busses. Used to take the same bus from the Vineyard Town Terminus to downtown, then another from downtown to Portmore (Independence City). Also, the 27 from Mountain View Ave to downtown and thereabouts. The JOS bus network was built off the UK system. Good memories. Bless up Jamaica!🇺🇸🇯🇲
Ps. Please cover Jamaican Independence Day Festival. The Grand Gala at the stadium, the floats, the performers, the music competition. Thanks

I could listen to her all the time. Thank you so much Kareem for these informative programs! I'm definitely a subscriber from now on!
Thanks for these kind words. I will pass on the message to Cecile

Love the attention to detail.
I’m a new subscriber I really enjoyed this interview with a true icon of Jamaica. Because there’s so many unintelligent. Jamaican on social media. I do enjoy. Please continue with your channel. Good luck. .
Thanks
I remember Mayflower buses from Montego Bay to kingston.
There was Victor bus, Mail Bus, Grey Mist, Blue Mist, Nothern Queen, Queen Mary, King Alphanso, Confidence, St Mary Special, Port Maria Special, Master Key, and Many others. Each Parish has their own bus name. Sometimes three people in the parish owned buses. It also depends on how large the parish is.
Many people owned passenger buses in Jamaica. Those buses that carried the loads on the top. We called country buses. Those that came to town all went to West Street teminal. One bus was called Morning Star, others called Morning Glory, Star Liner, North Liner, and Captian Special. There were many, many other buses.
After those phased out the mini buses came, but the big buses were better.
Jamaica was Jamaica then.
Wonderful memories of the 8 and 15 buses in Olympic Gardens, and then the 40 bus in Pembroke Hall.
I use to call the "JOS" the "peng peng tush" i was a child then, and that was the sound that the bus would make in my mind, when it would stop. Lots of great memories ❤❤
The conductor would ring two times "ping ping" that told the driver to move off. When he eased off the brake that's when you heard the "tush"
Interesting!
Those bus was always so full I use to take 15 &8 or 40
My country buses were Sun Enterprise, Mail Bus, Racket(last bus at night) in St. Thomas a very famous driver was Maas Ashley who drives the 11:o clock bus. When this bus reach center cut in Port Morant coming up the hill if you hear him blowing the horn continuously you know there is a letter with money or a box of food that was given to him by my mom who lives in Kingston, for my grandmother to collect. Very trustworthy and always on time.
I want back my Jamaica everything that this lady says is true. Back in kingston I remember my mother who was a police officer would take the JOS bus to work in her crisp uniform all decked out standing at the front of the bus and she was not allowed to pay any fare.
Lady, thank you for bringing me back in time.
I also remember the Diamond T's. We also had.the leyland bus we nick named ONE JAW because of the half cab design!!.😂
I am 67 and from Mt. Salem. I remember Bun Up for sure!! Your lady described him perfectly. I was a little scared of him when him say " Yuh Mus Bun"
Thanks for the memory; I think he died in the early 1980s
I remember those trains and the preachers - 1970s. Also the occasional preachers on the JOS.
What an entertaining guest! Cecile is so knowledgeable and entertaining at the same time. Found this today when searching for Jamaican buses in the 1930s
Glad you enjoyed the podcast
Number 91 from downtown to Duhaney Park, 92 from Patrick city, 95 from Cross Roads via Washington boulevard via Patrick city to duhaney park. 39 from cross roads via red hills road to meadow brook estates. Express 77.

Those were the Good old days……Awesome
So nice to bring back memories she looks great keep it up
The Pattypan Bus goes to Jones Town.Denham Town Rock Hall because the streets were small and the bigger buses couldn't navigate those small streets.
There was another bus that was short like the Patty Pan with the door in the middle & painted Green & white with the door in the middle. It was lettered R . They operated 24 of them ,they ran the same rt as the A& F bus . These came with the infamous N bus with the rear engine . The N bus was plagued with problems ,often breaking down & catching fire . This was the bus they used to sabotage j.o.s after Manley took over . They came from 1 st batch that were made & they sent them to Jamaica with the original bad engines . British Electric Traction who owned j.o.s knew that those N buses were plagued with problems & sent them to j.os as a way to get back at Manley then left without teaching the mechanics to maintain them . The best of the N bus didn't come to Jamaica. The M bus was the last full size j.o.s got & the 1/4 million was the very last bus j.o.s got ,but sat on the Wharf for 3/ 1/3 yrs because j.o.s already went under . I was working with the Customs Dept when this happen .
Denham Town had no bus route .
The JOS No. 11 Bus Route: From Parade, along Spanish Town Road, Maxfield Ave to HWT, HWT to Red Hills, but turning off into Sterling Castle/Coopers Hill, then to Rock Hall, then terminate at Parks Road in St. Andrew. As a child, I use to ride all the JOS Bus routes just for fun.
I remember the "Star Liner" and the " Forest Light" buses traveling from Ginger Ridge en route to Kingston through other communities ❤😂
Yes, the Chi chi sounds.
My dad used to drive Starliner.
Wow I can also remember the May flower bus that travel's from Kingston to Montego bay.
Hi: As I mentioned before the back of the bus was referred to as 'the kitchen' because that area was hotter than the other areas. The buses were 'Leyland National' and the transmission seems to be the 'Epicyclic (semi-automatic) gearbox'. There are videos online where one can view the operation of these gear boxes. It was a pleasure to see the drivers operate the transmission.
I remember going to collage in Portland. Busses like morning star alone use to go to Port Antonio. Pretty Gal was one such bus.
That is so true about the bus,my mother told me about that same bus.she told of when you wanted to catch that bus . get up early.
I could listen to her talk all day.
I am 70 years old, and I remember a little about Bun Up 😂. He was always preaching on the streets of montego Bay. Some of the time he would pick on nicely dress young women, walking behind them preaching( the lard sey fe tell you ect.---him ?? Warn you long time ,if you no come -- a bun you affy bun.😅.) He was most times dressed in white long sleeve shirt,tie and black pants,with a Bible.
Where’s he now
I'm in Atlanta now but I was a bus owner in this same time operating from dalvey Sr Thomas to Kingston smaller bus but was a market bus as well
I go to the JOS bus stop at Purity bakery on Redshill road at 6.00 am to Bumper hall STATHS and reach ar 8.30 and hold a dention from the Prefect at the gate..that made me buy my first car after my 6th pay cheque..that prefect became a Air Jamaica stewardess.

Morning Star, Hall's Transport and Blue Danube were the busses that came down in the mornings from the Cascade direction thrugh Jericho and on to Lucea, and returned in the afternoons (one of them might have been in the opposite direction).

Remember Mail Bus. Going through St Mary. Leaning going through junction
Hail Kareem. If I remember correctly, country buses were built locally on the frames of trucks like the Leland, Bedford, and Commer trucks. JOS or Jolly Joseph buses were imported from England.
I've been hearing a lot of that as well. Will definitely want someone to expound on it because that would be interesting to know that we built our buses
Those days on the north side Portland to Mobay one bus Uncle Sonny two trips for the day it took you a whole day to reach Mobay from St Mary
Big Respect to you for highlighting the use of the elders , and all the same to the elder for sharing, vineyard town was the cherry garden those days,what number 2 avenue did you live, 8 bus down town Olympic garden 15 cross road to Olympic garden 11 bus doney park , my sister Lucille douglas at eight 89 years old in two thousand ten was a conductress in 19 62 to some time in the seventy,
