Dial-a-Ride Services
These services will be and will mean that those who have difficulty reaching
the health centre will be able to arrange door-to-door transport if they
are members of a Dial-a-Ride service.
(1) The Bustler Community Transport scheme
is based at Woking Town Centre and makes facilities more accessible for those who have difficulty using
public transport.
Bustler operates two services: Dial-a-Ride and Dial-a-Bus, both operating from the surrounding villages of Woking and bringing
passengers to and from the Town Centre. Both buses have the additional
benefit of picking you up from outside your front door and all Bustler
buses are equipped with tail-lifts and low steps to enable you to get
on or off the bus more easily.
Fares comparable to normal commercial bus services apply but if you hold
a Surrey County Council Bus Pass then you only pay half the standard fare.
In order to travel on the Bustler Bus, you need to become a registered
member of the Bustler service. Call the Bustler advice line on 01483
747864 for further information. See also their website at www.wokingbustler.org.uk/
(2) Runnymede Dial-a-Ride is available for anyone living
in the Runnymede Borough with a mobility difficulty that makes it difficult
for them to use the standard bus service. It is available to young and
old alike, whether their mobility difficulty is a result of permanent
or temporary disability, age, accident or illness. They do not have to
be registered disabled.
An essential escort may travel free of charge if you need extra assistance
on your journey. Alternatively, you may also take a companion who should
pay full fare.
The service is available Monday to Saturday 9.00am to 5.00pm and the
annual registration fee is £5.
Leaflets for these services may be available from the West Byfleet Health
Centre; or contact Runnymede Dial A Ride on 01483 747864.

organisations may be able to help: try
