The Government just announced (Dec 5 2025) a £3 billion boost for services and infrastructure, this means passengers across the UK are set to benefit from faster, cheaper and more reliable buses.  

Simon Lightwood, Minister for Roads and Buses,  who we welcomed to our depot last year for the launch of Community Transport Week said:

‘This £3 billion boost will give  passengers lower fares, more frequent and reliable services and safer journeys – helping both ease the cost of living and making it easier for people to get to work, hospital appointments and social plans, boosting the economy.’

It is good news, helping more people to get to where they need to be, closing the gaps, and tightening the bonds that flourish in communities through transport provision. For those we help, older people and Community Groups, community transport is still their first choice, enabling those who can’t access public transport to get out. We help passengers get on the bus, we go to their door, and we help with the bags, visiting places like the shops and offering day trips out. And our volunteer car service makes getting to private appointments like the GP or the hairdressers simpler, helping reduce missed appointments and lost time due to lack of transport.

Community Transport has a vital role to play in changing lives and communities for the better, and we are grateful to play a role in serving our community. If we can help you or someone you know with accessible and affordable transport please get in touch or read more about our services here.
