Public Transport

This section’s three principal areas of involvement are:

  • The administration of the Council’s concessionary fares schemes
  • The provision of public transport information
  • The procurement of local bus services
PublicTransportV1600
Administration of the national concessionary fares scheme, which provides eligible persons with free off-peak travel on local buses anywhere in England, is undertaken by the section. For further information about the scheme visit www.direct.gov.uk/buspass
We also have an increasing involvement in the preparation, updating and distribution of public transport information. This includes responsibility for maintaining and updating Isle of Wight bus information on the national website www.traveline.info
PublicTransportV1601
A number of communities are provided with limited but essential bus services through the support of the Council.
Extensive consultation with bodies such as the Parish and Town Councils, the Isle of Wight Bus Users Group, the Quality Transport Partnership together with the views of the bus operators and of individual passengers inform our decisions on network planning.
If you wish to contact us then please call (01983) 823780.
