Well despite the whole debate, we have loved the bus service and used it at least 6 times last week. We get on at Phase 3 and by phase 1 people have been turned away - full every time. Timings might be better as skipping the 8pm has meant a full 7pm. We did have bands checked. Everyone we met on the bus thought it was a great service and agreed they would be happy to pay for it. Fully agree with supporting local taxis but we waited 40minutes plus for a taxi for the return journey in peak time. We think there should be more buses, more frequently and that would be a major selling point that owners could advertise which would, in turn, bring more tourists and therefore more money into the local economy. It's a win win!
