WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY R.G. LE HÉRISSIER OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 11th MAY 2010
Question
"Is it intended to integrate school buses into the scheduled network as part of the Integrated Transport Plan? If not, why not?"
Answer
Yes, it is intended where synergies exist that the school bus service will be integrated with the scheduled bus services. Due to the history of the bus service they are presently each managed under two separate contracts. However, my Department is working closely with Connex to explore how better integration can be achieved now to meet the early objectives of the Sustainable Transport Plan, which is to be brought to the States this Summer.
In the longer term the two services will be fully integrated under the terms of the new bus contract which will start January 2013.
