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:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Passengers told to expect disruption as flights are delayed or cancelled
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
Follows private talks in what's described as a 'call to arms' meeting
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Chief Minister says facts are urgently needed
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Families encouraged to apply for Elizabeth Emblem
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
