Cousin Leroy’s Jamaica Update

The Bronx, New York | Thursday, April 9, 2026

Leroy reads the Jamaica Observer every morning in the break room at work. He has opinions.

GAS PRICES

They raise gas prices in Jamaica again. I see it on the Observer website this morning. Effective today. Every time I go back to visit, something cost more. Beef patty, bus fare, gas — everything. My cousin in May Pen texted me and said the coaster bus already announce a new fare. I said to him, they don’t waste time. He said the driver announce it before the government even put out a press release. That is efficiency.
