The Connétable of St. Helier will ask the following question of the Minister for Infrastructure –
"Following the recent announcement that a Town hopper' bus service trial is to start this year, will the Minister provide further details of this proposal?" WQ.174/2021
The following response was provided in writing in accordance with Standing Order 63(9) as the oral question was not asked before the end of the time allowed for Oral Questions:
I can confirm that, following discussion and agreement with the Chief Minister and Treasury, a funding source for the proposed town bus service has been identified and is expected to be finalised shortly.
The service is proposed to operate six days per week, every day except Sunday and Bank Holidays. A timetable has been drafted to provide a frequency of every 15 minutes throughout the day, with a round trip journey time being 35 minutes in average traffic conditions. Ten minutes "recovery time" per round trip is allowed so that the bus can operate its next departure from the bus station punctually. The earliest journey would depart from the bus station at 9 o clock in the morning with the last one at 6 o clock in the evening.
