Public transport on the Isle of Wight

A list of Bus routes and other public transport on (and to) the Isle of Wight. Routes already entered can be seen on Öpnvkarte[1]

Colour and symbol legend

The status of each route is indicated by a symbol, which describes the type of feature, and a colour, which indicates the completeness of that feature in a map region. For more details, see Wiki Help.

Meaning of symbols

Symbol	Meaning
	Route status
	Stops status

Base Code	NA	0	1	2	3	4	X
{{State Route|r=...|h=}}	- implies status unknown	- no part of route added	- route partly added (as relation)	- route mainly added, needs completing	- route relation complete (in view of 1 editor). Should be verified.	- route complete & verified by second editor. Please date.	- route does not exist in real world.
{{State Route|r=|h=...}}	- implies status unknown	- no stops added to relation	- some stops added	- most stops added, needs completing	- all stops added to relation (in view of 1 editor). Should be verified.	- route complete & verified by second editor. Please date.	- no stops in real world. Unlikely to be used without r=X as well.

The codes 0-4 are a logical progression, but they do not all have to be used in sequence. It is perfectly acceptable to go from 0 (nothing on map) to 3 (everything done in opinion of one editor). However, there should never be a jump to level 4. r=4 should only appear after r=3, and the same with h=3 & h=4, as this implies the relation has been checked by both the editor who completed it (level 3), and a second editor (level 4). Given these are different people, a jump up to level 4 from anything other than 3 is not possible.

This section includes scheduled tourist routes. This means anything that runs on a road to a published timetable, so Dotto Trains and open-top routes, as well as normal services. Routes that coaches may operate should only be listed if there is a published schedule of regular services (eg: round-the-island tours=NO, X40 Island Coaster=YES).
