EFHCT services offered include:
• Individual Bookings – Social Car and Dial-a-ride
• Group Bookings
• Voluntary/Community Groups
• Bus Routes • DaRT (Demand Responsive Transport)
DaRT is NOT a taxi service, there must be enough volume of passengers with similar itineraries in order to make the journeys viable. Passengers are asked to be flexible so bookings can be grouped together.
Most DaRT work is former bus routes and group bookings but unlike a large bus, DaRT only needs three or four passengers to make a group booking. When not operating a timetable bus route or group booking, vehicles may be available for individual runs where no alternative transport is available.
DaRT operates between date and time depends on which service. Unlike a conventional bus, you need to first register as a customer. You need to book your seat on a journey at least 1 working day in advance of travel. Please telephone 01992 579556 to book.
Concessionary bus passes will be accepted (After 09:00 Monday to Friday and all day Saturday).
