Reptons Coaches, one of our contracted bus operators in Surrey have made their first move towards zero emission electric buses. We have supported this small independent operator with the purchase of this new electric vehicle which went into service this week. This supports the county's move to zero emission buses.
The new electric bus will serve in north Surrey and include a school route. @ReptonsCoaches operate six local services and three dedicated school services.
