Smith says it may improve bus network for future
Capping bus fares on the Isle of Man to help people through the cost-of-living crisis could improve the bus network for the future.
That’s the view of Garff MHK Andrew Smith.
Government will cap all journeys at £2 from November – a move that's been delayed until then so that issues with driver availability and timetabling can be addressed.
Mr Smith, who is a political representative for Treasury, says it should take some of the pressure off:
500% increase in immigration arrests on the Isle of Man
Due to targeted activity rather than increased criminality
More taxpayers' cash could be spent on 'cleaner heating'
