The services CT provides

CT achieves its aim of combating social exclusion by providing a range of services to people and communities. These include:

Minibus services

Shared transport for a wide range of community groups, from under 5s groups to over 60s clubs.

Individual door-to-door services for passengers who find it difficult or impossible to use mainstream transport. For example, Dial A Ride.

Community Buses

Regular, timetabled bus services with volunteer drivers.

Contracted Services

Home to school transport
Social Services day centre transport
PSV services

Note: local transport authorities have the power to award certain bus contracts without the need for competitive tendering. For a guide to how these "de Minimis" rules work, go to our free information page

Demand Responsive Transport

Services for the public, which adapt their itinerary and timetable to suit changing transport demand. Often door-to-door, these use paid drivers, operating minibuses or smaller vehicles such as people-carriers. (More information about DRT and its role in integrated public transport systems is available on our free information page)

Community Car Services

Door to door transport for individuals using volunteer drivers, either with their own CT-owned cars or people carriers, for passengers who cannot use public transport.
