Lorient Agglomération has put two electric buses into service on the island of Groix (Morbihan). They replace the old diesel-powered buses to provide the two lines in service on the island: the 113, whose timetables are based on the boat timetables, and the 35, which serves the town every morning and provides on-demand service.
Autonomy over a day
The new shuttles with an exclusive design for Groix are more spacious with a capacity of 35 seats, a suitable size, have a removable electric ramp for people with reduced mobility and are equipped with new ticketing with contactless payment. They respond to the transition towards more ecological and more economical public transport: autonomy over a day and reduction of noise pollution.
