Rob Callister says price hike wasn't included in budget
An MHK has criticised the Department of Infrastructure for introducing a price rise that wasn't included in the budget.
Onchan member Rob Callister raised the issue of the recent increase to school bus fares at this morning's sitting of the House of Keys.
Minister Ray Harmer insists fares are heavily subsidised by government and more children may now walk or cycle to school.
However, Mr Callister says this doesn't explain why the increase was so suddenly brought in earlier this month:
Glencrutchery Road to close to northbound traffic
Several sailings at risk or cancelled due to adverse weather
MHK's shock over Hospice announcement
Baldrine Methodist Hall is not being sold by church
