Bus vannin recieves a subsidy off the government to help that service people on uneconomical regular service routes. Try using the mini buses on the regular bus routes, rather than single decker & double decker buses. use them on a hourly basis, if there is no requirement then use them on every 11/2 hours, and if no requirement than every 2 hours. The north must retain a regular bus service.

Country bus services are a public service and are not expected to make money. Dial-a-bus has proved a failure in England, it is a failure here. This is why Longworth has introduced it: this was his brief.

Apart from the above, the minibuses are unbelievably uncomfortable, and don't really have room for assistance dogs or more than one wheelchair.

The GP clinic in Jurby very rarely has available appointments and if myself or child is offered an unavoidable appointment in Ramsey then 9 times out of 10 I won’t be able to make it due to there being no bus or if I ‘DIAL & RIDE’ i get there late.
You’re not taking into account family households that don’t even possess a household phone. What with BlueWave and other competitors you don’t need a fixed landline now and also those people who have no credit on their phone. How do you expect them to call up?

Such pressure on the roads and environment can only increase with the current gov’t initiative to attract 40,000 new residents – that is, unless gov't makes a move now to encourage folk to 'take the bus not the car' and provide a more frequent, user friendly bus service to kickstart a reduction in the phenomenal number of cars per capita on the island.

How are we to promote the village for residence? How do we allow our children some independent travel? Short sighted at best! Disgraceful

Or perhaps be used on an adhoc basis to places that are infrequently served, like Port Soderick or Glen Chass.

I don't see this as a replacement for scheduled services between larger villages. Jurby, in particular, is a concern since it's as to close to a deprived area as any village on the Island gets. The absence of a regular transport link could be a barrier to employment for some and a cause of social exclusion for others.
