LibertyBus recognised for leadership at National Social Value Awards

Tuesday 11 July 2023


LibertyBus has won the Organisation Leadership Award at the National Social Value Awards, which were recently held in London, in recognition of the bus operator’s social impact in Jersey.

To measure the impact of its services, LibertyBus commissioned research agency 4insight to conduct an extensive survey among customers. 72% of respondents acknowledged saving money due to their use of LibertyBus.

This figure rose to 80% among daily commuters, reflecting the company's dedication to providing affordable transportation options for islanders.

Through its partnership with the Government, LibertyBus has launched several social initiatives, including a concessionary pass scheme for people who are older, the AvanchiAccess card for people with disabilities, the wheelchair passports scheme, and the Accessibility Card for people with hidden disabilities. 

Kevin Hart, Regional Director of LibertyBus, said: “We are thrilled and humbled to receive this award. It is a testament to the dedication and passion of our team. 

“We also thank the Government of Jersey for working in partnership with us and sharing the same mindset of taking every opportunity to deliver social value over the last decade. We remain committed to making a positive difference in the lives of the Jersey community through our services and initiatives.”

LibertyBus is owned by Tower Transit, which is in turn part of Kelsian Group, Australia’s largest multi-modal transport provider and tourism operator.
