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 summit
The three railways are operated under the banner of Isle of Man Railways, and the Isle of Man Transport title is defunct: buses have operated 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 Douglas Corporation (the local authority) and Protours (Isle of Man), an independent coach company. There are also three privately-owned and operated short-distance tourist railways: the Groudle Glen Railway, the Great Laxey Mine Railway, and The Orchid Line (a miniature railway within the Curraghs Wildlife Park).
