Brighton & Hove
Brighton & Hove run a fleet of around 280 modern buses on local bus services as well as 8 luxury coaches available for private hire to meet any requirements. They have been in the public transport business since running horse buses in the 1880s and they now have one of the most modern fleets of state-of-the-art vehicles. All their modern vehicles have particulate traps fitted on their exhausts.
Brighton & Hove has been a subsidiary of the Go-Ahead Group plc since 1993. The Go-Ahead philosophy is to run its transport companies as autonomous businesses in tune with the local market. A new satellite based vehicle tracking system was introduced in 2002 in partnership with the Council which enables real time departure information to be displayed at many of the City’s main bus stops and on the internet for every bus stop in the city. They have been pursuing a strategy of encouraging more use of public transport and have introduced traffic management measures in the city with bus lanes and other priority measures for buses as well as improvements to bus stop areas.
