Leicester’s Electric Bus Upgrade | Leicester News

from Leicester News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Leicester’s bus future just got a major upgrade—with nearly £5 million invested in ten new electric buses and a smart tech boost for riders. These sleek, eco-friendly rides will roll on key routes, while over 100 new totems with real-time arrival info and text-to-speech features make boarding easier for everyone, especially those with visual impairments. Plus, 85 four-sided totems will display maps and schedules in high-traffic zones. All this is part of a citywide push toward cleaner, more reliable transit, with plans to hit 200 electric buses by 2026.
