On her first official visit Transport Minister Nusrat Ghani met Brighton & Hove Buses' MD Martin Harris (right) and Director of Operations Kevin Carey.
The Wealden, East Sussex, MP spent a couple of hours with the company and said “It was brilliant to hear about Brighton & Hove’s initiatives to make its buses greener as well as its strategies to tackle congestion.”
Mr Harris added: “I welcome the Minister’s position championing buses, her insight that the industry’s biggest obstacle is congestion and her foresight that buses will become even more vital in the future.”
Ms Ghani, who has been an MP since 2015, was appointed Transport Minister in the January Government reshuffle with specific responsibility for buses and accessibility on public transport.
