MHK seeks demand responsive bus update

Mon, 14 May 2018

An update on the introduction of demand responsive transport is being sought at this month's Tynwald sitting.

Infrastructure Minister Ray Harmer previously told the Island's parliament that the scheme would be trialed in the north of the Island this year, with a view to being rolled out elsewhere if successful.

The system would allow bus passengers to request a bus to pick them up when needed rather than using timetabled services, which can often run below capacity in rural areas.

Ramsey MHK Lawrie Hooper will ask the Minister what progress has been made on the introduction of such a scheme when Tynwald sits tomorrow.
