Southern Vectis is celebrating the success of its Shalfleet Junior Rover ticket, by extending its availability until Monday 31st October.
The ticket, allowing young people between the ages of 11 and 16 to travel between Shalfleet and West Wight Sports Centre, will now be valid on Mondays – as well as Tuesdays – from 16:00 to 22:00.
Matt Kitchin, general manager of Southern Vectis has said:
“We worked closely with Shalfleet Parish Council to introduce this initiative, making it easier for our younger passengers to attend youth clubs at the sports centre.
“Funding from the parish council made the ticket – which costs just £1 – possible. And we’ve had such a great response during its trial period that we’re extending the availability of the Shalfleet Junior Rover until the end of October.”
Councillor Pam Broadhead, of Shalfleet Parish Council, added:
“Shalfleet Parish Council is very pleased to liaise with Southern Vectis to reduce transport costs to help the youngsters within our Parish access sport and youth facilities in the West Wight.”
