Isle of Man buses reveal stark punctuality divide between Ramsey and Douglas routes
Bus punctuality on the Isle of Man varies sharply depending on the route. Services in the Ramsey area consistently arrive on time, while those travelling in and out of Douglas struggle with delays. New data highlights the stark difference between the best and worst performing lines. The top-performing routes are clustered around Ramsey. The 16d (Ramsey, Glen Mona, Dhoon Glen, Hibernia, Ramsey) and the 16 (Ramsey, Port-e-Vullen, Maughold, Ramsey) both rank among the most punctual. The 18a (Ramsey, Andreas, Jurby, St Judes, Ramsey), 19 (Ramsey, St Judes, Jurby, Ramsey), and 20 (Ramsey Regaby, Andreas, Smeale, Bride, Ramsey) also maintain strong on-time records.
Meanwhile, routes serving Douglas face significant delays. The 11 (Port Erin, Colby, Castletown, Douglas, Onchan, Willaston, Douglas) and its variant, the 11arm (Port Erin, Port St Mary, Gansey, Castletown, Freeport, Douglas, Onchan, Willaston, Lord Street), are among the least punctual. The 12a (Douglas, Willaston, Onchan, Lord Street, Castletown, Gansey, Port St Mary, Port Erin) also performs poorly. The figures reveal a clear pattern: Ramsey-area buses run reliably, while Douglas-linked services experience frequent setbacks. Passengers on the most delayed routes may need to plan for extra travel time. The data provides a basis for potential service adjustments in the future.
