Rural buses to save money

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

New buses are being introduced to serve rural routes as a way of cost cutting.

The Department of Community, Culture and Leisure has taken delivery of two Mercedes Sprinter City buses.

It says the 17-seaters will help to reduce capital and operating costs.

Minister Graham Cregeen says it is the department’s policy to try and minimise these costs before increasing charges to passengers.
