A new bus shelter has been installed at a “popular” area in St Martin.
The new stop was funded by the States’ Committee for the Environment and Infrastructure and local charity Living Streets.
The charity hoped with “more bus shelters”, it would encourage more islanders to use the bus service.
Secretary of Living Streets Pat Wisher said the shelter, located at the Professor Shaw Community Centre, would benefit the whole community.
Ms Wisher said she was “surprised” the area did not already have a bus shelter.
