Transport Board gets 30 electric buses

The Barbados Transport Board welcomed the arrival of 30 electric buses yesterday, with 35 more on the way.

Donated by the People’s Republic of China, they are expected to be on the road by May 1, says Minister of Transport and Works Santia Bradshaw.

She said the new buses will be deployed to alleviate transport challenges in rural areas such as Connell Town and Pie Corner in St Lucy, St Albans in St James, Boscobel in St Peter, Shorey Village and Chalky Mount in St Andrew as well as Sugar Hill and Bathsheba in St Joseph.
