ISLANDERS can get a free return bus journey on Sundays leading up to Christmas, Southern Vectis has announced. 


Customers using any route 9 bus should keep their single tickets on December 11, 18, 25 and they will receive a free same-day return ride. 

Southern Vectis communications manager, Nikki Honer, said: "This service runs up to every 15 minutes on Sundays, so there’ll be plenty of opportunities to take advantage of our offer.

"And the route 9 will be operating hourly on Christmas Day.

"That means people will have the chance to visit friends and relatives without having to take the car, which is great for those who are keen to indulge in a little festive spirit.

"Our route 9 buses are equipped with USB power points, so passengers can make the most of their bus journeys.

"Whilst heading into town to bag presents for loved ones, they can charge their smartphones and surf the internet."
