We all know we should think about using our cars less, especially for journeys where there's a viable alternative. Now, with so many frequent bus services all over the island, increasingly you’ll find there is a very convenient alternative, as more and more of you keep discovering.

Using the bus can help alleviate congestion, reduce harmful emissions and help make the island a nicer environment for everyone. Did you know that even a half full bus is considerably more fuel-efficient than a car with just a driver in it? And, per person, it takes up a fraction of the road space. Travelling by bus is a readily accessible, socially inclusive form of transport.

If you want to find out even more about our commitment to the environment you can read our Corporate responsability report 2009.

Over the last year we have invested heavily in new buses. These buses are not only more accessible, they also emit fewer greenhouse gases. Across our
fleet, 26% of vehicles now have Euro 4 or Euro 5 engines, which meet the latest European diesel
emission standards. Our new vehicles can also carry more passengers: just one of our double decker buses can take 87 motorists off the roads, making a significant contribution to reducing congestion and harmful emissions.
