| - The Barbados Transport Board is the government owned bus transport provider in the country of Barbados. The headquarters is located at Weymouth, Roebuck Street, while the main terminal is at Fairchild Street in Saint Michael. The other three terminals are: the Constitution River Terminal (located just across the river from the Main Terminal, The Princess Alice Terminal also in Bridgetown, Saint Michael and the Speightstown Terminal in Speightstown, Saint Peter in the north. Also, the three bus depots are located at Weymouth, Saint Michael, Oistins, Christ Church and Mangrove, Saint Philip. The Barbados Transport Board now has a fleet of approximately 340 buses (nine buses which were destroyed by fire - BM 53, BM 55, BM 113, BM 117, BM 213, BM 232, BM 251, BM 256 and BM 530). The buses are blue in colour with a yellow trim and white top. The buses had drivers and conductors to collect fares, but now have automatic fare collection machines since the 1990s. The new Wayfarer bus ticket system was introduced in April, 2005 for all Transport Board buses. The Transport Board also compete with the privately owned white and maroon stripe coloured route taxis (called ZRs) and the yellow and blue stripe coloured mini-buses. The Barbados Transport Board was approved in June, 1955 by draft legislation of the Governor of Barbados. Three months later, an act of Parliament was passed on 24 August 1955, establishing the Transport Board. The Transport Board's fleet of buses that they had purchased were; 20 Hino small buses and 40 Mercedes-Benz (OH1621) Marcopolo Torino GV buses in November, 1996 and Mercedes-Benz (OH1622) Alpha Caio large buses in November, 1997 respectively; 15 Hino smaller buses, 50 Mercedes-Benz (OH1420) Marcopolo Torino and 45 Mercedes-Benz (OH1821) Busscar Urbanuss large buses and air-conditioned large buses in November, 1999, respectively when the air-conditioned units were taken off in late September, 2006; 25 Mercedes-Benz (OH1420) Marcopolo Torino large buses in November, 2003; 5 Mercedes-Benz (LO915) Marcopolo Senior Marksell smaller buses in November, 2004; and 65 Mercedes-Benz (T270R) Allison Transmission Marcopolo Torino large buses in November, 2006. As the Transport Board goes further with the future of cleaner, greener transportation, the new 33 BYD K8RA electric buses had shipped to Barbados from China in just a matter of weeks until 8 July 2020. The 33 electric buses left the Bridgetown Port on 10 July 2020; 5 for the Speightstown Bus Terminal; 10 for the Mangrove Bus Depot; and 18 for the Weymouth Bus Depot. There will soon be the new 250 BYD K8RA battery-powered electric low-floor buses and 450 Yutong ZK6120CHEVPG21 battery-recharged electric-powered hybrid low-floor buses here in Barbados from mid-2021 onwards post COVID-19.
