Islanders urged to use park and ride scheme
Islanders are being encouraged to use a trial park and ride scheme.
The trial in St Brelade opened in May but only 26 of the 50 permits available have been used, Deputy Andy Jehan said.
The scheme lets people leave their car in the Airport Playing Fields car park before boarding a bus from the bus stop at Route des Quennevais.
Mr Jehan, the Minister for Infrastructure, said he had hoped for greater participation but "it is relatively early days".
He said there had been no marketing budget for the park and ride but he encouraged islanders to "give it a go".
The deputy said the scheme had financial savings for users and environmental benefits from reduced car journeys.
"I get the bus myself sometimes and it gives me an extra 20 minutes to talk to people, listen to music or do some more work," he said.
