Smoother. Quieter. Greener..

Your new electric buses are here! 24 new electric buses are on the road to take you where you need to go around North Somerset. You'll mostly find these on our X1 service (Weston to Bristol) and X4 service (Portishead to Bristol).

Hop on board for...

  • Smoother and quieter journeys
  • Upgraded USB and USB-C charging points
  • Improved accessibility design
  • And each bus will save about 75 tonnes of CO2 each year – the equivalent to taking 54 cars off the road!
