Smith says it may improve bus network for future
Capping bus fares on the Isle of Man to help people through the cost-of-living crisis could improve the bus network for the future.

Government will cap all journeys at £2 from November – a move that's been delayed until then so that issues with driver availability and timetabling can be addressed.
Mr Smith, who is a political representative for Treasury, says it should take some of the pressure off:
