Ring and Ride
For those who have difficulty in accessing public transport there is Ring and Ride.
Ring and Ride provides door-to-door transport for people who find it very difficult or impossible to get to a bus stop or get on or off ordinary buses. Their buses have low entrance steps and lifts at the back to make it easy for people to get on and off. If you use a wheelchair, the driver will secure your wheelchair safely in the bus or, if you like, help you into a seat. Drivers are fully trained in customer care and disability awareness.
Ring and ride is designed to provide short local journeys. The buses are small and can reach most homes easily. Remember: Ring and Ride is for people who have difficulty getting about - if you can use ordinary buses please do.
For details of costs, how to use Ring and Ride and other relevant information, please visit www.ringandride.info
