Fare free campaigners on Island will explain their aims and views at a public meeting in the capital this evening.

Fare Free Campaign Isle of Man is inviting people to hear about it's views on how free public transport could improve the lives of Manx working and middle class families and also how it thinks the Isle of Man could pay for it.

The organisation along with the IOM Climate Change Coalition are calling for all charges on buses and trams to be scrapped.

The meeting gets underway at the Manx Legion Club on Market Hill in Douglas from 7pm.
