JCAM Buses

Before we explain what JCAM Buses are we'll explain what JCAM is exactly. JCAM stands for Jason City Area Metro JCAM is responsible for providing transportation to the residents and visitors of greater Jason City and parts of Jason County. JCAM mainly operates within city limits. We do have a few routes that cross into Jason County that offer connection with Jason County Transit. JCAM has been in operation since 2021 our motto is "We Take Great Pride In Providing You Safe 5 Gold Star Public Transportation." JCAM Buses are pretty much what they're called as they are the buses we use on all of our Local Regular Service Routes. Our standard regular routes provide normal daily regular service all day all around town. Wait times may vary depending on the route that the bus is on. Layover times are 10 minutes long after arriving and stopping at the dedicated route destination stop completely before the bus is allowed to depart from each end of the route after the bus has waited for exactly 10 minutes. Buses are never allowed to leave late or early for any reason.

Here's a pic of what most of the JCT Fleet will look like since the Gillig BRT and BRT Plus are the workhorses for Jason County Transit however just like JCAM there's several different vehicles used
