The Lucea bus park on Delisser Boulevard is the central departure point for most route taxis and minibuses serving the town.

Hopewell has a municipal Transportation Centre, with routes towards Sandy Bay, Montego Bay and inland communities.

Route taxis are shared public transport on named routes, so they differ from private hire and charter services.

Confirm the current timetable and fare before setting out.

The North Coast Highway links Montego Bay, Lucea, Green Island and western communities. The National Works Agency lists the Green Island to Lucea corridor at 17.77 kilometres and Negril to Green Island at 22.45 kilometres. Other listed routes include Hopewell to Haughton Grove at 17.40 kilometres and Great River to Kew Bridge at 24.64 kilometres.

Road works, traffic and weather can change travel times. Seaview Drive is an important eastern access into Lucea, so check current road conditions when connecting to an airport or coach.

Before you travel

Carry Jamaican dollars for local buses and route taxis unless another payment method is confirmed. Private transfers, coaches and rental vehicles set their own payment arrangements. For public passenger vehicles, the Transport Authority identifies red public-passenger-vehicle plates and a light-blue windshield sticker showing licence validity.

Early and late service levels can vary. Confirm the first or last departure, the local departure point in Green Island or Sandy Bay, and any connection through Lucea or Hopewell before travelling.
