Information Technology consultant and third-year Computer Science student, Oswald Smith conceived the idea of implementing a Google Transit application for the JUTC. The idea was born out of his personal experiences with the JUTC bus system. The app allows commuters access to the JUTC's bus schedules and some of its routes on their computers, tablets and smartphones using Google Transit. In conjunction with the bus company, the app has been launched and is currently being used by the public. Jamaica is the first Caribbean country to provide ground   transportation information to the public using Google Transit.
