Southern Vectis has announced its timetable for bus services during the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
The local operator will operate normal services on Saturday 6 May, and Sunday services on Sunday 7 and Monday 8 May.
Head of Southern Vectis communications, Nikki Honer, said,
“We know many people living on the Isle of Wight are planning to spend time with others here – with communities coming together to celebrate this historic event.
“There are street parties and other events planned across the island over the course of the Bank Holiday weekend, with many hospitality businesses also getting involved in the festivities.
“Whatever people’s plans, it’s the perfect time to leave their cars at home and let us transport them to their events. With so many expected to be out-and-about, travelling by bus means not worrying about where to park, and it’s also an opportunity to enjoy a celebratory tipple.
“Our customers can still travel on any single journey on our buses for £2 or less, as part of the government’s fare cap scheme, which has been extended until the end of June.
“They can also use any payment method – including tap on, tap off contactless, the app, and cash.
“The best way for people to plan their bus journeys during this very special Bank Holiday weekend is via our app. It offers great features – including being able to track buses in live times.
“On behalf of my colleagues at Southern Vectis, I’d like to wish His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen Consort a wonderful Coronation.”
