Poole Community Transport Service
Poole Community Transport Service offers low floor and wheelchair accessible transport, along with door to door services by Dial-a-Bus and the voluntary driver scheme. The service is available to Poole residents who do not have access to a car and are unable to use, or find it difficult to use, public transport.
Minibuses are fully accessible (wheelchair, low floor/step, ramp). Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles. A wheelchair accessible car is also available to hire.
Who it's for
Any Poole resident with no access to a car and eligible for the English National Concessionary Travel bus pass.
The Community Transport & Travel Co-ordinator will arrange a home visit to confirm eligibility and discuss your transport needs.
Costs
£10 annual membership to join the scheme.
Dial-a-bus: free of charge.
For other trips using volunteers’ cars: £4.50 for the first 5 miles with £1 per mile thereafter.
