Gozo is going green as it has finally started using its first 100% electric buses, as a shuttle service that will transport people to Mġarr, the harbour town located in south-eastern Gozo.

The service, which is free of charge, will operate between the harbour and the Xewkija heliport between 5am and 9am. Trips will occur every 10 minutes, between 5am and 8am and then, between 3pm and 6pm. At other times, trips will take place every half hour.

Those looking to use the electric buses can park their vehicles near the heliport at Triq il-Kanal and triq il-Bwier and cartch the bus to the harbour, where they can then either catch the Gozo Ferry to Ċirkewwa, or the fast ferry to the capital of Valletta.

According to Grupp Universitarji Għawdxin, students are likely to use and appreciate the service the most, as they spend a lot of time worrying about where to park their cars in Mġarr.
