I used to love my country bus Silver Liner, Jew Boy Montego Bay to Black River. Morning Star to Montego Bay and Savana-la-mar. May Flower Kingston To Montego Bay via Browns Town, Clarks Town, Falmouth. Busses like Confidence ran everywhere.
As a youth, the country bus ride was nice only rivalled by the train from Montego Bay to Kingston. Who smash up we nice nice Jamaica? Our trains and diesel services. From Montego Bay to Kingston leave at 7:00 am reach the Town by 11:00 Am then leave at 3:00 pm and reach Montego Bay by 7:00 pm.
The train ride was nice and reasonable it was like a fair in motion. You could get shrimp, beer, soft drinks, rum, Ammy, ice cream, fried fish, roast pork, banana, dark or reading glasses, pants length, shirts jeans, Gleaner, Star, Rachik knives, sweetie, religion.
As a likkle boy wah nice so and the people were the original civil-loving and kind Jamaicans. The train was what transported cars from Kingston Wharves to Montego Bay.
In dependence Kingston's quasi-colonial government mash up Jamaica to the extent most Jamaicans are now criminals.
Don't be upset, as any behaviour that attracts a fine or imprisonment is a crime that's how you become a criminal.
Drive over 30 mph in a built-up area = Criminal. Depositing paper or garbage other than in a place designated = Criminal.
One way to reduce crime is to ask every Jamaican to police themselves, friends, and families alike.

Sometimes when I look back at the seventies as a boy, it brings a little sadness in my heart, even a part of the early eighties too it was such fun, not much violence and people used to smile and care more.

ReplyDeleteI enjoy writings like these,give us more stories like that Mr B D Trute and Co.
ReplyDeleteWhat Jamaica Govament and opposition saying about the Jamaica Railway Cooperation.
ReplyDeleteHow come the Bauxite people have it using but Jamaican people do not?
Want to win election 2025 do these or even propose these things:
ReplyDelete(1) Bring back the train services from Montego Bay to Port Antonio via Kingston.
(2) Abolish Direct Income tax use indirect taxes only GCT etc
(3) Eliminate squatting give everyone a liveable space even ONE square Chain.
(4) Create a development bank that focuses on building capitalism from the bottom up.
Fully monitored/supported starter loans for busineses operating like partners with said bank.
That could help rebuild Jamaica's Middle Classes making Jamaica safe again.
(5) Execute guilty murderers and rapists of minors.Speedy trials and executions also a national anti-crime mass literacy movement.
In 1962 there were 63 murders but 60 years later in 2022 we had 1498.
2024 =1393
(6) Bring back the LENGTHMAN SYSTEM FOR ROAD REPAIRS AND particularly for MAINTAINANCE.
(7)Focus on rural development starting with Westmoreland and St Thomas.Part of the criminal Sanitization and awareness effort.
(8)Rewind a National Literacy programme focusing on young males in and out of schools in Jamaica.
Jamaica literacy average = 88% is the 4th lowest in the Caribbean with Haiti the lowest at 63%
Female Literacy =93% among world's highest for females.
MALE LITERACY =83%
