TfL Press Release:
New green, productivity boosting buses introduced – but no more will be delivered until a long-term funding deal is secured
New route 63 buses include a host of customer-friendly features to make bus travel an even more attractive alternative to the car
A fleet of new, higher specification all-electric buses are being introduced on a key London bus route to encourage even more people back on to public transport as London recovers from the pandemic.
The new ultra-modern buses were first developed around two years ago, and are a sign of what the future of buses could be if the Government agrees a long term funding deal with Transport for London (TfL). Without a deal, the less green and increasingly ageing bus fleet will have to remain on the roads.
