A fleet of 17, bright blue electric buses have hit the road in Nelson and Tasman today, the launch of a new service designed to improve residents access to public transport.

It's a major overhaul that will see regular week-day services between Nelson and Motueka, as well as a dedicated airport bus from the city centre.
