Access Bus Scheme
The Access Bus provides people who have limited mobility with a door-to-door transport service to popular shopping and leisure destinations. The bus service covers towns and villages across the county.
Who is the Access Bus scheme for?
You must have a genuine mobility problem to qualify for this service. For example:
- if you're a wheelchair user or have difficulty walking,
- if you have a sensory impairment (blindness, deafness), or
- if you have breathing problems or difficulty getting to the bus stop because of your health
Your carer or a companion can also travel if you need someone to accompany you. You must include them when you make your booking.
How to book the Access Bus
To book a place call the number on your membership card. A place will be reserved if one is available. Bookings can be taken 10 days ahead of your journey.
