Whether you wish to make your own way around the Island or whether you want to be able to just jump on a train or a bus, the options are widely available. If you are wanting to get out into the countryside, the best way would be to hire a bike or a car - or even go walking on one of the many footpaths available for you to use.
Isle of Man Transport is the Government Department responsible for the operation of the island's Bus Service, Victorian Steam Railway and the Victorian Electric Tramway. The Victorian Steam Railway runs from Douglas to the South of the Island and the Victorian Electric Tramway also runs from Douglas to the North. Buses cover the whole of the Island. Please see the links below for timetable information.
