Rationale
Many factors combine to bring Guernsey bus use to a tipping point:
- Momentum of new passengers feeling the economic slow-down
- Parking overload and pedestrianisation plans in St Peter Port
- Long journey times at peak hours
- States’ budgetary constraints on major road building / traffic schemes
- Improved bus logistics through new ticketing system
- Internet – mobilising passenger enthusiasm efficiently
- Carbon emission, global warming and sea level concerns
- An aging population
