The following resource is provided to keep you informed of the new RET (Road Equivalent Tariff) pilot scheme due to commence in October 2008.
If you have any comments or additional questions you would like to ask, please click on the RET Feedback link at the bottom of the page.
Why has the Scottish Government not just introduced the 40% discount scheme suggested by other political parties?
The suggested discount scheme would only have applied to passengers resident in the islands. As the discount would not have been available to businesses or tourists it would not have stimulated the economy or encouraged tourism in the way the Scottish Government’s RET scheme is likely to stimulate island economies.
RET applies to all categories of travellers and will help to encourage tourism and to stimulate local economies. .
