A fleet of new electric buses will soon be operating on the streets of Jersey.

Operators, LibertyBus, described the vehicles' arrival as "a significant step towards a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly public transportation system on the island".

They said the new electric buses were due to come into operation from Monday on the main network.

Minister for Infrastructure, Deputy Tom Binet said he was looking forward to seeing them serving the island.

"I am really pleased with the progress that has been made to try and find suitable electric buses to join our island fleet," he said.

"Successfully bringing these buses into service is the culmination of hard work and perseverance to overcome some of the challenges we have in Jersey with our narrow roads."
