This is a dial-a-ride service that takes its members from their door to their local shopping areas.  It is fully wheelchair accessible.

Who is eligible?
The service is for people who are housebound or unable to use public transport because of a medical condition. 
People who live in a rural area more than 500 metres from a conventional bus route are also eligible.

How does it work?
The scheme is free to join and all that passengers have to pay is the fare which is either £1.50 or £2.70, depending on the actual journey. 
Journeys are booked at least one day in advance. 
The experienced drivers give passengers any help they need

Where does it travel?
On Mondays, Tuesday and  Fridays, people living in the Whitstable and Herne Bay areas can travel within their own areas.

A new service on Thursdays means that people living in the Whitstable and Herne Bay areas can travel to Canterbury

Other areas and villages across the district will also enjoy a better service giving people new options to travel to Canterbury as follows:

  • Areas and villages north and west of Canterbury on Mondays and Wednesdays.
  • Areas and villages south of Canterbury on Wednesdays and Fridays.
  • Areas and villages east of Canterbury on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

If you would like to find out more information, or to join the scheme, please contact Jan Uden at Canterbury City Council on 01227 862436
