YORK boasts the world’s first fully-electric double-decker bus, it has the country’s first all-electric Park&Ride route and the city led the way in 2013 by offering cab drivers funding towards the price of a low emission vehicle.

Now that incentive has reached fruition with Streamline becoming York’s first taxi service to operate a fleet of hybrid and electric taxis as well as trading in a number of older diesel cars.

This is another good green initiative. We say well done to all who made it a reality.
