Valelevu shuttle bus pilot program expected to cater for around 13 routes by the year end

The Valelevu shuttle bus pilot program is expected to cater for around 13 routes by the end of this year.

Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says the program will serve the Greater Nasinu area, the most densely populated area of the country, including the areas between RB Centrepoint to Davuilevu and Nakasi.

He says they will have electric shuttle buses running on these routes which will represent the first electric public transportation fleet in Fiji.

Sayes-Khaiyum adds aside from making travel cleaner and more convenient, they represent an ambitious and important step towards decarbonising the economy.

The programme will cost the Government around $4 million.
