Tap to Pay and Electric Buses Coming | Bermuda News

Ditch the change—buses are getting smarter and greener. The Department of Public Transportation is launching a tap-to-pay system for cards, slashing boarding time during rush hour while boosting data for smarter route planning. Building on offline fare validation in the Shorelink app, this is a key step toward full contactless payments—with old methods still available. Meanwhile, they’re ordering 20 new electric buses this year, bringing their total to 110 and ending their electric bus program. These sleek new rides will replace aging diesel buses, cutting long-term costs and helping handle rising school-year demand without extra minibuses. Winter schedules and real-time alerts? All coming via the Shorelink app. Smoother, cleaner, and more efficient travel is just around the corner. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
