I have a disability and can not use local transport.

 

What other options are available?

Dial a Bus and Community Cars are transport services specially designed for people who cannot use public transport.  Lune Valley Transport Enterprise operates the Dial-a-Bus service and Community Cars for the urban areas of Lancaster and Morecambe. The services are supported by Lancashire County Council and Lancaster City Council.

Dial- a- Bus provides door-to-door services within their operating areas, using vehicles ‘specially adapted to make them easy to use. Vehicles are equipped with lifts and passenger restraints so that wheelchair users can travel without having to transfer to a seat. Services may run to a broad route and timetable. Please contact the operator for up-to-date details. They will always try to help wherever they can.

Community Cars
Community Car Services are provided by volunteers using their own cars with financial support towards running costs coming from both fares and from Lancashire County Council. Fares are based on bus services for the area, and concessionary fares passes can be used. While the drivers will give every assistance they can, the service will not be suitable for wheelchair users who cannot easily get in or out of a car. Where there is particular need, the scheme’s co-ordinator will try to arrange for the most suitable vehicle available.
