The Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) has announced that there will be an increase in the cost of replacement Smartercards effective Monday, September 26.

The State-owned bus company said the decision to charge more for a replacement card is due to a significant increase in the production cost of its Smartercards by its international supplier.

The JUTC said concession passengers will now pay $400, up from $300, while adult passengers will pay $700, up from the current $500.

It said, too, that no fees are attached to new Smartercards. However, customers are free to determine how much they wish to load onto their card.

The Smartercard is a rechargeable system used by JUTC passengers to pay their fares.
