Plymouth gets new £32m electric bus fleet with taxpayer help

Plymouth Herald - Plymouth is to receive a mp;pound;31.87m fleet of 50 new zero-emission electric double-decker buses this year - after the council and Government chipped in with a huge taxpayer-funded subsidy. Plymouth Citybus, part of the enormous Go-Ahead Group, will replace almost half its fleet with the new vehicles in a scheme partly paid for by Plymouth City Council, Cornwall Council, and the Department for Transport.
