Being a tourist Island, some bus services only run March to October. These generally have a name, like Breezer or Coaster. The numbered bus routes serve the Island all year round.
The number 3 and the number 6 buses serve Ventnor, as does the Island Coaster in the summer months.
Pick up a timetable from Occasions and Ventnor Post Office, but it is advisable to visit the Southern Vectis website or download the Southern Vectis app (Apple Store and Google Play) for the latest routes and service updates.
