The Joint Orchestrated Kollective Engineers have got in touch this morning to let us know that they’re launching a scheme for Islanders to take over Southern Vectis and run the bus service at cost for Islanders.
Their spokesman, Un L. Ikely, told VB, “Island residents are fed up with having to pay so much to travel on the bus around this beautiful Island. By us coming together, we can run the bus service for the benefit of the people.”
The Kollective tell us that their proposal is that Islanders put £100 each in to the pot, building a fund of £13 million pounds. Mr Ikley expanded on this, “we know that there a large variation in income levels on the Island, so are suggesting that those who are more comfortable put in more money to even things out.”
The £13 million fund would be used to buy out Southern Vectis, so they can have a rest, put their feet up and have a cup of tea.
The Kollective are keen to find out the thoughts of Islanders to their proposal.
