Route
Mayor Oliver Coppard, said: “We’re delighted to see the very first fully electric buses arrive in South Yorkshire. They are just the first of many that will start operating in the region over the next few weeks, with the support of the Mayoral Combined Authority. Electric vehicles are critical to decarbonising our bus fleet, achieving our net zero ambitions, and improving air quality for South Yorkshire’s residents.”
In addition to the new buses, a brand-new second route for Sheffield Connect is being launched to help people get access to even more of what the city centre has to offer. The new route will link The Moor to Castlegate and West Bar and run every 20 minutes.
Cllr Miskell continues: “Sheffield Connect, along with the brand-new second service, is not only fantastic news for passengers and those looking to get around our amazing city centre, but it will also help to support the economy allowing people to shop, eat, drink and relax more easily.

sorted by- a valid senior or disabled travel pass.

- or a bus, tram or train ticket bought within South Yorkshire that is valid on the day of your journey.
If you don't have any of those, don't worry, it's just £1 for a single journey - cash and contactless accepted."I'm personally sick and tired of all the electric transportation negative stories in the press.
