First Bus has announced a multi-million-pound investment to expand its electric fleet in Aberdeen, introducing dozens of new electric buses at the start of the coming year. This initiative will enhance eco-friendly public transportation across the city, with the electric buses set to primarily serve students from Robert Gordon University on essential routes, while remaining available to all travelers and locals in Aberdeen.

This fleet upgrade is part of First Bus’s broader strategy to create zero-emission networks across major UK cities. The new fleet will include over two dozen modern double-decker buses and a dozen converted electric buses, underscoring the company’s goal to achieve a fully emission-free fleet within the next decade. With these updates, Aberdeen’s network will rank among the top cities in the UK for green public transport options, helping the city meet its sustainability targets.

For visitors, the introduction of these buses provides an opportunity to explore Aberdeen through a more sustainable lens. With improved air quality and quieter engines, these electric buses offer a smoother, less disruptive travel experience. Tourists traveling to key attractions and city centers can now contribute to reducing their carbon footprint while using a convenient mode of transportation.

Additionally, this fleet expansion encourages eco-conscious travel choices, making it easier for visitors to choose public transport over rental cars. With enhanced connectivity across Aberdeen’s main sights and neighborhoods, the electric buses offer a viable alternative that supports sustainable tourism efforts.

This investment not only reflects First Bus’s commitment to sustainable practices but also reinforces Aberdeen’s status as a green city. As cities worldwide move toward eco-friendly solutions, Aberdeen’s transition to an electric fleet makes it an appealing destination for environmentally aware travelers.
