Plans to update laws around bus fares

Government wants to get residents views on proposed updates to laws around concessionary bus fares on Island.

A consultation launched this week wants to hear what people think about eligibility for Go Gold, Go Gold Plus, Go Silver, Go School and Go College cards and how the system can be improved.

Infrastructure Minister, Tim Baker MHK, says the DOI is hoping to bring forward a scheme to Tynwald in July 'placing concessionary fares on a solid legal footing and bringing existing provision up to date'.

Anyone wanting to give their thoughts can do so by visiting the online consultation hub before the deadline on Tuesday, May 18 - a link to the short questionnaire is available here.
