People who care for those with long-term disabilities will be able to use Jersey's public buses for free from today (1 October).

The existing AvanchiAccess scheme provides unlimited free travel for islanders who have a disability preventing them from driving.

The Government says it is "delighted" to be able to extend the scheme, which first began in 2017.
