More than 300 people used the newest bus service on the Island on Saturday, according to the infrastructure minister. (9 August)
The 8S launched for the first time over the weekend with trips from Peel to the south of the Island, including Cregneash and the Sound.
It's part of the Department of Infrastructure's Transport Strategy to ensure more connectivity throughout the Island.
