About Jamaica
Jamaica is the third-largest island in the Caribbean, a mountainous country of 14 parishes where limestone karst and the Blue Mountains rise steeply behind narrow coastal plains. British sugar plantations shaped its settlement and its people, and independence came in 1962. It gave the world reggae and dancehall, and remains a significant bauxite producer.
Known for reggae and dancehall, Blue Mountain coffee, jerk cooking, bauxite mining and Cockpit Country karst.
Getting around
Kingston and the corporate area run on JUTC buses, and licensed route taxis and minibuses cover the rest of the island. Every public passenger vehicle is licensed by the Transport Authority, and only approved fares may be charged — ask the fare before you ride. JUTC's cashless SmartFare card speeds up boarding, with the Half-Way Tree Transport Centre as the network's hub.
