Mr. Hugh Creegan:

The Deputy also asked about green buses. For a number of years we have been monitoring what is available, but green vehicle technology is more expensive and our choice was whether to buy enough buses to keep the system running or buy a smaller number of newer technology buses. We bought the latest version of conventional diesel powered buses, but there is an expectation that additional funding will be made available to us to allow us invest in either compressed natural gas, CNG, buses or electric buses, whichever comes forward, over the coming years. They are a little more expensive.
