Shiny fleet of buses for university

15 brand new, greener buses have been introduced to run on the busy route which links the UEA to the train station.

It’s part of an investment commitment from First South East Buses and the university to encourage more students and staff onto public transport. Dawn Dewar, Transport Co-ordinator for the University of East Anglia said: “We know people won’t swap out of cars, unless you improve the experience for customers. We want our students to leave this University with a lifelong commitment to sustainability; getting them to use the buses is important.”

As part of the partnership, a fast bus service – No 30 – was introduced last year which only takes 20 minutes from the station to the UEA. This route stops at the Newmarket Road interchange, as well as the station, allowing connections from other locations. Revenue from car parking fees at the UEA has been allocated towards helping fund the scheme.
