What is Dial A Ride?

Dial A Ride provides accessible transport for people who find it difficult to use public transport due to illness or disability.

How does it work?

Passengers ring the office preferably 3 to 4 days before they want to travel and book their ride. Our booking clerk will work out the route to be as efficient as possible, collecting people in the same area with similar travel requests. The service is door to door for the passengers and a companion.

All bookings are taken between 9:00a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Monday to Thursday. The office is closed at weekends but the buses run 7 days a week subject to driver availability.

Anything - visit friends, relatives, the theatre, social clubs, pubs, shopping, work, voluntary work, college, the hospital, doctor - anything that you have been prevented from doing by a lack of accessible transport.
