Oxford's Park and Rides Go Electric Hybrid

Today, I went to the Oxford Bus Company's official launch of their new electric hybrid buses at Redbridge Park and Ride. After the ceremony we all got on board the bus to take us into Oxford to celebrate on the roof of the Living Room. It was a lovely sunny day so we could stay outside and watch many buses go by. Next time I attend full Council I expect to Park and Ride on one of the new buses.

The £5.1million fleet of buses will all go into service over the next few days and create the country's first low carbon corridors on the city's three Park and Ride routes. The Oxford Bus Company was the firm that pioneered the country's original Park & Ride services in the 1970's and will be the first Park & Ride to be operated by green electric hybrids.
