Community Bus Routes

Article contents:

Passenger Travel Services have been operating community bus routes in the borough for over ten years. These routes centre on major shopping centres, supermarkets and local facilities such as libraries, doctors surgeries, etc.

The vehicles, which are all wheelchair accessible, operate on roads adjoining the major bus routes, but being smaller than most buses, are able to travel into restricted areas, where they operate on a 'Hail and Ride' basis.

Our drivers are disability awareness trained, and the vehicles carry a full set of safety equipment for the protection of all passengers irrespective of their mobility.

The routes were so successful that we were awarded a certificate from Havering Association for the disabled for our contribution to access for all residents.

Our community bus routes are not just for disabled or elderly people. Any person can use them for a modest fare.

In providing community transport we will consider requests from any residents, or groups of residents, for the provision of transport in those areas that are not normally served by public transport. For some organisations we have set up a once a week service into major shopping areas.

For further information and quotes for contracts, or hiring, please contact our booking office on 01708 43320/3232/3188.
