Public consultation was undertaken earlier this year and we wish to thank those members of the public for submitting their views. It was the view of the public that whilst the bus network had remained constant for years without many changes, the travelling public highlighted that we needed to adapt to changing social habits, new housing and business developments with an improved bus network which catered for these changes. We have listened to the travelling public and are pleased to announce that from Monday 13th September 2010 we will introduce increased services during the evenings and Sundays including late night services from Douglas on Fridays and Saturdays. Key destinations such as Noble’s Hospital and the Airport will see a better service resulting in the Douglas and Onchan areas having direct links to the Airport and Hospital. We have simplified the routes so that most major roads will now have a regular service. We will monitor very closely the results of the new bus network so that we may build on this base to ensure that we respond to the ever changing needs of our passengers.
