Employees of the Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) dressed as Santa Clause and elves putting a smile on children’s faces in the Corporate Area on Christmas Day.

The JUTC said its revenues were down by almost 100%.  The majority of its ridership, students, and elderly are at home. It’s chartered usually are funerals and other events have been hit hard as large gatherings are prohibited.

The team visited several communities in Maxfield Avenue, Trench Town, Olympic Gardens, Waterhouse which drew passerby and onlookers cheering on the recipients. Approximately 50 people benefited.
