Electric buses are the present and future.
Stagecoach has been receiving some brilliant feedback about their new electric buses.
I spoke with them to find out more.
The feedback isnโt just from the people travelling on them, but also from those living along the routes.
One resident told them how the change has transformed their day-to-day life.
Living on a tight corner where buses used to slow down, rev up and pull away again, they were used to the constant noise and diesel fumes.
Since they introduced their electric fleet, that disruption has disappeared.
Now, they can sit in their garden in peace, enjoy the quieter streets, and appreciate the cleaner air.
They even described it as โa delightโ to see and hear the difference, and thanked them for their โelectric clean buses.โ
Itโs not only residents noticing the change.
Passengers are talking about how smooth the journeys feel, how comfortable it is onboard, and how welcome the air conditioning has been during the summer heat.
Some have even told Stagecoach drivers that theyโre choosing their buses, over other operators running the same route, simply because the experience is better.
Credit where itโs due.
Stagecoach are doing an incredible job with their sustainability efforts.
