Supreme Court reserves judgement in Mandela bus-lane challenge

The Supreme Court has reserved judgement in the application by transport operators challenging the creation of  a lane on the Mandela Highway for Jamaica Urban Transit Company, JUTC, buses.

Lawyers for the operators, the JUTC, the police and the Office of  Utilities Regulation, OUR, completed arguments yesterday.

Justice Lennox Campbell is to rule next week whether leave should be granted to the operators to seek a judicial review. The operators want the Ministry of  Transport to change the use of  the dedicated bus lane.

They say it should not be exclusive to the JUTC and other public passenger vehicles should be allowed to use it.
