Dial-a-Bus is designed to help people who have difficulty using standard buses to access local facilities and amenities.
All Dial-a-Bus vehicles are wheelchair-accessible, with low floor ramp access at the front of the vehicle. The vehicle will pick up and drop off as near as possible to your home and chosen destination and the driver will assist you on and off the bus. If you require additional assistance you can bring a friend if you feel their support will help.
