Any enquiries regarding this new service should be addressed to the Gibraltar Bus Company on Telephone 47622.

“The introduction of this seasonal service to the beaches is a welcome addition to the services already provided by the Gibraltar Bus Company, as it will enable the public to access Sandy Bay, Catalan Bay, Eastern Beach, Western Beach, and the Rosia Area, for Camp Bay and Little Bay. It will not only allow beachgoers to ride to and from the beach in comfort, but will also assist in decreasing motor vehicle use during the summer months” said the Minister with responsibility for Transport, the Hon Joe Holliday.
