The number of journeys being taken by bus in Guernsey is continuing to rise for the second year in a row.

Until last year bus passenger figures had fallen steadily since hitting a high of 1.6 million journeys in 2009.

Figures for 2014 show 1.4 million journeys were taken, up just over 100,000 from 2013.

The first six months of 2015 show passenger figures have continued to rise with 689,891 journeys - up 37,000 on the same period last year.

Lee Murphy, operations manager, said: "We've worked really hard on both reliability and customer service to make using the bus more attractive.

"We know that customers want a service that they can rely on and a network that evolves to meet their needs.

"We're focussed on those things to keep the positive momentum going."
