A proposed bid for extra funding was discussed and agreed at last week’s Combined Authority (CA) meeting (Friday 4th June) that could see the hydrogen bus fleet increased to 40 vehicles – enough to fully service the route. This would mean the £12.5m committed through the Transforming Cities Fund (TCF) already committed to the project could be spread over the cost of more vehicles, hugely increasing the size of the new fleet for the City Region.“82% of all public transport journeys in our region are taken by bus and this new fleet will give people a clean, green and comfortable way to get about. I’m already working to double the size of the fleet so more people can enjoy these buses and the improved air quality we’ll get as a result.”.
