Nelson\u2019s downtown bus terminal is being upgraded to cater for the new all-electric service that starts next month.<\/p>\n
A small building at the depot site was demolished last week, and the parking area is being expanded to accommodate five buses, rather than the current two for the more regular eBus service.<\/p>\n
The fleet of 17 electric buses from China have now arrived in Richmond, with Bee Card readers, wifi, bike racks being installed, and new livery added. The buses will be stored at Estuary Place, Richmond with the site having enough chargers for the full fleet to charge overnight.<\/p>\n
