The principal bus operator on the Isle of Wight, Southern Vectis has been getting Island visitors and residents from A to B since 1929. As well as offering a regular and reliable bus service, Southern Vectis is a major employer with a successful apprenticeship and graduate scheme.<\/p>\n

As well as providing regular and sustainable bus services connecting the Isle of Wight, we also see it as our responsibility to support and connect our Island communities, charities and valuable causes.<\/p>\n

We take greener travel and preservation of the Island seriously, regularly updating our fleet with new greener and cleaner innovations and spreading the word about the benefits of bus travel on air pollution and the environment.<\/p>\n

The Island’s buses<\/h3>\n

Southern Vectis came into being when the Southern Railway bought the Vectis Bus Company in 1929. From then it was always owned by large national concerns and after 1970 was part of the state-owned National Bus Company.<\/p>\n

With privatisation in 1986, the company was bought by its management team, and stayed independent until bought by the Go-Ahead Group in July 2005.<\/p>\n

As the principal operator of bus services on the Isle of Wight, Southern Vectis serves the needs of the island\u2019s residents with a really comprehensive network, and we cater for the huge influx of visitors throughout the ever-lengthening tourist season. The company has developed a strong partnership with the Isle of Wight Council and, for example, delivers 2500 children to school each day on behalf of the Council.<\/p>\n","button":false,"button__text":"","button__url":""}],"identifier--brand":"Southern Vectis","operator":[{"term_id":34,"name":"Southern Vectis","slug":"southern-vectis","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":34,"taxonomy":"operators","description":"","parent":33,"count":10,"filter":"raw"}],"route-description":"Southern Vectis","route-description__byline":"buses across the Isle of Wight","route-description--marketing":"Southern Vectis operate all of the bus routes on the Isle of Wight, including their popular Breezer and Coaster services.","route-description--enhanced":"","tickets":false,"location-terms":[18],"popular-attractions":false,"connected-articles":"","curated-collections":false,"genres":false,"reviews":"","summary":"
