Who can use the service?

Anyone whose travel needs are not met by public bus services can use Call & Go. This could be because:

• you live or your destination is more than 400 metres from an available bus service

• you are a disabled person

• you have some other mobility or sensory restriction that makes it difficult or impossible to use an existing bus service

• you do not have access to a car and there is no bus service running in your area

• you are a carer or accompanying someone who is disabled or who has some other mobility restriction that makes it difficult or impossible to use an available existing bus service.

Whatever the reason, Call & Go has been created to give you the opportunities to travel.

If you need us to, we can even arrange to pick you up from a location nearer to home. It couldn't be easier!
