Dial-a-Ride Scheme (Shrewsbury)
Description:
Shrewsbury Dial-a-Ride is a fully accessible transport service operating within a ten mile radius of Shrewsbury town centre.
If you do not have the use of a car or you find it difficult or even impossible to use public transport, then this is the service for you.
Shrewsbury Dial-a-Ride operates as a membership service.
For individuals there is an annual membership fee of £20 to join, and once you are a member, each trip costs £2 (with a bus pass) or £3.50 (without a bus pass). A trip is one-way, so a return would be £4 (with a bus pass) or £7 (without a bus pass).
Group membership is also available for clubs or societies who would find it useful to hire a bus for outings. Joining as a group costs £30 per year, and then each trip is calculated at a rate per mile.
The Dial-a-Ride service:
- operates Monday to Friday: 8.45am to 3.30pm;
- is able to help people with mobility difficulties, both registered and temporarily disabled;
- provides a friendly door-to-door service;
- requires all journeys to be booked in advance;
- offers a priority booking service for journeys required for medical purposes;
- requires members to be flexible about all non-urgent journey times; and
- ensures that all drivers are fully trained and CRB checked.
Dial-a-Ride also provides a regular programme of Sunday lunches.
