Isle of Man Transport (Manx: Arraghey Ellan Vannin) is an agency of Isle of Man Government that operates public transport on the Isle of Man.
Isle Of Man Transport operates the following services:
- Bus Vannin, Island-Wide Bus Service
- Isle of Man Railway, Douglas - Castletown - Port Erin
- Manx Electric Railway, Douglas - Laxey - Ramsey
- Snaefell Mountain Railway, Laxey - Bungalow - Snaefell
The three railways are operated under the banner of Isle of Man Railways and the Isle of Man Transport title is defunct, with buses operating under the heading of Bus Vannin since 2009.
In addition to these services, there are other forms of public transport on the island that are not government owned and operated; these include the Douglas Bay Horse Tramway operated by the local authority of Douglas Corporation and Protours (Isle of Man), an independent coach company. There are also tourist railways that are privately owned at the Groudle Glen Railway, Great Laxey Mines Railway and a miniature line that runs around the island's Wild Life Park.
