Any suitable road may be used. The Regular Service will not include any school services, excursions or courtesy services. Timetable – it will be a Demand Responsive Service. Each journey will be initiated in advance either by phone or by using the internet. Subsequent requests for travel by other individuals will either be directed to an existing journey or a new one will be set up depending on demand. In the event of a journey coming across a prospective passenger at a bus stop, the bus will pick that passenger up. The intended hours of operation will be 05:00 to 23:00 from Monday to Saturday, but not necessarily at all hours in between. The Service will not run on Sundays or Bank Holidays. While there is no dedicated timetable for the Service as such, careful note will be taken of passenger requests for connection with Bus Vannin services operating from Ramsey Bus Station. Fare structure – fares charged will be in accordance with existing fare tables. Class(es) of vehicle to be used – mostly minibuses (between 9 and 16 passenger seats) but occasionally buses (over 16 passenger seats). It is unlikely that any double-deck buses will be used. Up to 25 vehicles are available to provide this service.

An assurance regarding the suitability of these proposed centres has been received from the Planning Section at DEFA. The aim of this new route is to replace very lightly used scheduled local bus services in the area concerned. The Service is demand responsive and will aid social inclusion while also facilitating new transport links which will reduce the costs of local service bus provision. While this may result in some reduction in the provision of regularly timetabled bus services during off-peak times to the areas being covered, school journeys will remain. The Service will also enable more efficient use of Isle of Man Government resources. Circular No: 487 – 10th April 2018 Page 2 of 10 3.
