Barnet Community Transport (BCT) have taken delivery of two new and improved Tucana II buses to add to their small fleet. The charity have previously operated the original Tucana buses and CEO Richard Healy said;

“The Tucana II was the obvious choice as the most capable and suitable vehicle; our previous Tucana’s have served us for 6 years and are still going strong.”

The positive feedback from both passengers and drivers was amongst the many reasons BCT came back to Mellor when they were successful in their bid to the (DfT) Department for Transport Community Minibus Fund. Richard Healy said;

“The excellent qualities of a VW engine, automatic gearbox and automatic doors are why the drivers love the buses and the community user groups appreciate the comfortable interior and ease of access. We always get the highest standard of build from the team at Mellor”

New Tucana II join a fleet of Original Tucana buses

The flexible seating options means that the Tucana II is ready for a range of applications; with its safety-conscious fully flat floor and access via side or rear ramps this bus is fully equipped to meet the needs of Barnet CT members for years to come.

BCT would like to thank DfT Community Minibus Fund and Jesus Hospital Charity for providing essential funding and support.
