Service Description: Procuring and promoting public transport on the Island.
Also known as:- Bus Passes, Community Transport, Islander Cards, Rail Card, Transport (Public)
Answer: The Government has issued guidance that the concessionary fares scheme for local bus travel should not apply to services which are primarily provided as tourist routes or as tours. This change will take place on the Island with effect from 15 May 2009.From that date therefore, the concessionary bus fare scheme will not apply to those services marketed by Southern Vectis as the Island Coaster, Needles Breezer, Downs Breezer, Medina Breezer and Sandown Bay Breezer or services run for special events. English National Free passes, New Islander Cards and Student Rider passes will not be accepted for travel on these services.
