Should public transport on the Isle of Man be free?
Perspective
Sunday, 27 October 2019 - 51 minutes
Describing itself as “an environmental initiative that would improve the lives of working and middle class families on the Isle of Man,” we hear all about the ‘Fare Free Campaign’ on this week's episode of Perspective, which is calling for public transport on the Island to be made free for all.
Devon Watson, the spokesperson for the campaign, joins Dollin Mercer in the studio.
But first, we remind ourselves of previous discussions about this issue.
Back in May, Daphne Caine MHK asked the infrastructure minister a question in Tynwald about the impact of free bus travel on the Island's environment.
The idea of free public transport has cropped up on Perspective before, too - Mr Watson argued in favour of the idea on a previous episode, alongside Manx Utilities chairman Dr Alex Allinson, who dismissed it.
