Double decker buses are being specified for all journeys on service 15, considerably enhancing bus capacity through Georgetown with no reduction in frequency. New compact buses with the same high levels of comfort will be introduced on service 20, with the latest design of single decker bus operating on all other routes.
As a result of these changes, some other routes are altered:
This timetable will be in effect until further notice, but more improvements are expected to be publicised in advance of Easter. Deputy Kevin Lewis, the Minister for Transport and Technical Services, said: “I am delighted that CT Plus Jersey is taking steps to enhance our bus service straight away. I look forward to further enhancements being announced in early 2013.” He continued, “I want to encourage members of the public to contact Transport and Technical Services over the next two weeks with their views on these proposals.”
