Puffin Pass, P2 bus starts
A PARISH bus link that connects communities across the middle of Guernsey will begin with the winter timetable on Monday.
The timetable also sees the arrival of the new Puffin Pass smart cards, which will intelligently take fares, so a standard stored cash fare of 55p is taken in the day, while a £2 night fare is taken after 10pm.
Operations manager Lee Murphy said the P2 service gave options to link into the majority of the core network, while opening up a number of areas that have not been served previously.
He was speaking yesterday at a drop-in held at the Vale Douzaine Room in Maraitaine Road, one of the new areas served by the P2.
'We have never seen a link in this way before,' he said. 'It is something new and exciting.
'It serves high population areas and provides a range of options that were not there before.'
