Public invited to try out bendy buses

The public are being invited to travel on one of the controversial bendy buses today.

The Department of Community, Culture and Leisure is running the articulated vehicles on a number of passenger services between Douglas and Ramsey.

Minister Graham Cregeen says many people have requested a trial to help them decide for themselves about issues including safety and reliability.

A one month trial of the bendy buses is said to be progressing well – despite initial teething problems with buses breaking down.

The bendy buses will run on various services until 4pm – for timetables visit www.iombusandrail.info.
