Horse tram fares are £3 for adults and £2 for children for single journeys.
Day tickets are available at £6 for adults, £3 for children or £15 for a family.
Season-long Go Horse Tram cards valid until 5th November 2017 are £30 for adults and £20 for children and holders of Isle of Man senior citizens’ 60+ cards.
