  • How to Get Around the Isle of Man Public Transport
    How to get around the Isle of Man Public Transport Let public transport take the strain while at the Isle of Man TT. Travel on the extensive bus network or hop on board the Victorian rail network, you’ll find getting around the island easy and cost-effective. Buses The island has an extensive bus network - Bus Vannin - which serves the whole of the island on a regular basis including the Isle of Man airport and the Sea Terminal in Douglas. An increased late night bus service operates on Friday and Saturday evenings which serves all the main towns. Buy a multi-journey ticket which will help you travel around the island. The 3, 5 or 7 day Explorer ticket allows unlimited travel on all scheduled railway services, the Douglas Horse Trams and most bus services. Tip : The bus service goes around the TT course from Douglas to Ramsey when the road is open, there is no access once the road is closed. No bus service travels along the mountain section from Ramsey to Douglas, but you can access the bungalow area using the mountain railway. Railway The Isle of Man boasts three heritage railways – the Manx Electric Railway, Steam Railway and Snaefell Mountain Railway – which will transport you to your chosen destination in style. The Electric railway travels from Douglas to Ramsey via Laxey, where you can also join the Snaefell Mountain Railway. You can take the Steam Railway from Douglas to Port Erin with stops in Castletown, Port St Mary amongst others. Tip: The Electric trams are not affected by the TT course being closed.

  • Appendix. 25 (A) Public Transport
    Work Package 14 IMPACT Report Appendix 25(a) Promote the use of public transport 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1. The challenge this report seeks to address is to reduce the volume of emissions from transport, specifically travel by private vehicle, through the promotion of public transport. 1.2. On the Isle of Man the primary form of public transport is a whole island bus service (Bus Vannin), provided by the Transport Services Division of the Isle of Man Government Department of Infrastructure (DOI). 1.3. A heritage railway does operate but journey times, cost and frequency make them unviable as regular public transport options as they exist today. A further piece of work to understand the operating costs and options available to develop the Isle of Man Railway network into a valuable public transport system should be undertaken. 1.4. The UK Parliamentary Report into bus services in England outside London, published in May 2019, reported that people’s choice of transport is influenced by convenience, frequency, reliability, journey length and cost. 1.5. A sample research exercise undertaken in the Isle of Man provided an indication that residents identified with those same issues. 1.6. This report considers further exploration and action that may need to be taken to address these issues and any other barriers identified. 1.7. The improvement of real time customer information through personal digital devices and public digital screens at key bus stops would increase the level of information available for customers, complementing the existing telephone information line. 1.8. Ticketing information needs to be simplified and payment methods easier.
