Continuing the Maughold bus service as it is can no longer be justified, according to the Island's director of public transport.
Ian Longworth has been responding to criticism from Maughold Commissioners, who're annoyed there was no public consultation before the decision was made.
Mr Longworth says a public consultation starts now, now that the proposed changes have been announced.
He says what's planned for Maughold has worked elsewhere on the Island:
Loganair passengers escorted from aircraft after smoke reported at Ronaldsway
Flight bound for Birmingham was cancelled earlier today
Works planned for Douglas junction late this evening
DoI confirms repairs set for Bath place and Peveril Square
Freight services uninterrupted says Steam Packet
Ben-My-Chree currently 'carrying all freight requirements'
Greeba road closed to remove large tree
DoI shuts road towards Ballacraine Cross Roads
