Below is a letter submitted and recently published in one of Media Isle of Man's newspapers

Can there be anywhere less suitable for double-decker buses than our island?

Please look carefully at the ‘seat-load factor’ of these unnecessary machines as they pass you by.

Apart from commuter times they are virtually empty.

Large, over-frequent buses are a drain on the taxpayer and the goverment should abandon its anti-car bias.
