CHARLOTTE AMALIE —VITRAN St. Thomas will operate on an abbreviated schedule on Friday, July 15, 2022, to allow VITRAN staff to participate in DPW employee appreciation activities, according to DPW.

VITRAN services will operate from 5 to 10:45 a.m., and then from 3 to 9 p.m., the Department of Public Works said this morning.

DPW week took place from May 15 to 21, however a rise in COVID cases suspended activities in the St. Thomas District.

John McCarthy

John F. McCarthy is a veteran journalist in the Caribbean, writing from the "Decision Space" where survival meets the surreal. His reporting steel was tempered by a lineage of legendary editors and broadcasters, including Ed Wynn Brant (The Bomb), Owen Eschenroder (Ann Arbor News), Lynelle Emanuel (BVI Beacon), and Charles Thanas (WSVI-TV). Alongside longtime colleague Kenneth C. "Casey" Clark, McCarthy has navigated the front lines of the territory’s history—from the 1997 volcanic "snow" to every major hurricane since Hugo. Known for leaning out of doorless helicopters to capture the "money shot," McCarthy now edits the V.I. Free Press, providing the essential link between the island's colonial past and its SpaceX future.
