The Jamaican Street Car Co, proprietors Sam Burke and Tracy Robinson, established the first horse-drawn tramcar service in Kingston in November 1876 and the tickets were in use up to 1897, when the company was sold to the West Indies Electric Co, which itself was superseded by the Jamaica Public Service Co in 1923. The last electric tram in Jamaica ran in May 1948 and all surviving tramcars were sold for scrap in 1949.
