Exploring Jersey by Public Transport: My Day of Adventure with LibertyBus
There’s no railway on Jersey (well, not anymore anyway). However it does have an extensive bus network called ‘LibertyBus’ and it was my turn to try out the network!
Come with me as I travel from the capital – St Helier. First east then west, then west again, north and south – all over the place really! I’ll show you the different types of buses, the scenery and of course, what you get for your money. It didn’t always go to plan but I had a great time overall anyway!
As always, many thanks for watching – it’s really appreciated and spurs me on to keep travelling and making these videos. Your support is brilliant!
Cheers for now.
Mark

As a very frequent visitor to mainly Jersey, but also the Channel islands in general, I've found, if your phone is network free, ie. Not tied to a UK phone network, I'd get a local nano SIM, top up on data… and generally use Google maps and local bus apps to easily get around
I was born in Jersey & spent most summers there & I haven't ever heard of L' tacq lol
Do you think you will go back ro Jersey for a holiday soon ?
I had the same problem going up to the zoo with herds of schoolchildren
Enjoyed the video, the blue tourist coaches us local residents find annoying as they clog up country lanes, we call them grockle cans!
nice – I want to do this soon
Hi mate, not to be rude, mate but had you asked me if you could record I'd have been happy to partake, I'd ask that you remove my image and recording from the film, thanks.
Hi Mark, awesome channel , have watched most of your 150 video's in the last couple of weeks & subscribed to your channel…. The Bernina Express video is unforgettable.. looking forward to your next video / adventure… Thank you and " cheers for now ".. ???
£8.50 for a day ticket? 10p per square mile …. and on that basis, MUCH better value when the tide is out! ?
At first sight, not too much of either JMT or Jersey Eastern Railways left to see. ?
Another great video. I reckon £8.50 for a day out is good value. Thanks for taking us along.
I have been to Jersey many, many times but never taken a bus ride but then again it was always work related, very nice video but no mention of Elizabeth castle?!
A very good Tuesday evening Mark from Alan in Lowestoft buddy ? ?
Another god video keep up the good work
Anyone else trying to spot locations used in Bergerac?
Hi Mark how you doing mate? Great video as always well edited and great background music added sure is different seeing you finding your way to the buses and knowing which one to take to explore the whole of Jersey, its good that's there's someone on the desk to help out if your stuck on where to go plus pay for your ticket £8.50 is a ok price for a whole day ticket, sure is an average standard Optare bus indeed those pesky school kids sure annoyed that poor bus driver good thing there was a teacher onboard to tell them off beautiful views of Gorey indeed you didn't look very impressed of that bus journey to Gorey at all due to them naughty school kids, Corbiere light house looks very interesting indeed it is good that people can go inside it, sure was a change to see a Scania double decker instead all the way to L'Etacq that looked very boring indeed a bunch of nothing at all the other passengers looked annoyed too, you sure had a very long walk to Leoville to go back to St Helier once again the last one of the day anyways hope you having a good afternoon Mark and keep up the great content on the channel as always as its so great ?
I used the buses way back in 2012 but can't remember much about them.
I did enjoy Jersey though?
Another good video haircut!!!!. I, am becoming quite a fan!
You do so much look like Gordon Ramsey. With a Shoozbry accent!
As a born and bred Jersey girl , it was funny hearing you pronounce some of our names … it catches everyone out ! St Ouens is pronounced ‘Wons’ lol as for modern buses , we do now have an electric bus.. more to come I think ..if they have anywhere to charge it ! As for usbs …. Your not normally on bus long enough and you would be having to unplug it all the time if you did not have a window seat to let people on and off the seat.. most tourists tend to book a full or half day coach tour with one of the local coach companies .. buses tend to be used for getting from A to B and not an island tour .. depending on how much you use it, the ticket you had was good value as a single cash journey is £2.25 …
Another great video. Do enjoy watching these.
Pomme d'Or
I got a taxi from the airport to Hotel d'Or where I was staying for a meeting. Taxi driver asked if I had been to Jersey before. I said it was my first time. Found out later that he took an extended route! Loved the Island.
Great travel experience!
I wish I had so much time to visit all the places I've seen in your videos ?
Thank you for another great video ?
At a guess many of those Optares Solo would have come from TFL fleet that they replaced
Didn't the hotel have WiFi?
That’s interesting about the Phone. I have a Tesco sim which works in the EU and the Channel Islands at no extra cost
Great video mark
Hi Mark, we did a similar thing on Malta. Bought a bus pass for a week and set off exploring. Might be an idea for a future trip?
Very nice Video Mark
Interesting video and view of the service; I've been to Jersey 3 times in recent years and each time stayed in a different place (Gorey Pier, St Helier and St Aubin). I find the bus service to be absolutely excellent – the island is so small you don't really fancy stuff and USBs – and the cost of replacing a fleet that's doing a grand job suited to the island would be odd. It was lovely to see familiar and favourite places – you were unlucky with the weather – in good summer sunshine a friend and I got off at the same stop as you for Corbiere and then walked to L'etacq stopping for a swim and lunch halfway along St Ouens bay – what a fab day that was – we worked out it was about 12 miles all in. A lovely island, beautiful scenery but since the pandemic, eye-wateringly expensive.
Mark my dear, may I offer a suggestion. Having been in broadcasting for decades i can tell you this. Tis better to voice over sections where the background is overwhelming. I could not understand much after you scanned the ticket and sat down. When you listen back as editing before publishing try it on a device not attached to headphones.
I watch on my main telly for example.
As always best wishes for your continued success.
