TownLink

TownLink is a circular bus route that operates in St Helier on Jersey. It is operated by LibertyBus.[1]

History

In the late 1990s, a circular route branded "Hoppa" operated within St Helier, but it was short lived.[2][3] The introduction of a bus service was approved in 2011, but did not launch in 2013 as intended.[2][1]

In January 2021, it was announced that a new route would be trialed in the summer.[4] In August 2021, a £365,000 contract was agreed with LibertyBus and it was stated that the route would start by the end of 2021.[3] The route started on 30 May 2022.[2]

Service

The bus service operates from Monday to Saturday between 9am and 6pm. The entire loop takes around 30 minutes.[5]
