ON THE ROAD AGAIn - WITH OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFE TRAVEL DURING COVID 19

The Covid-19 virus has greatly affected the way we travel. This has impacted on the amount of passengers that can be safely carried and impacted on journey times due to the necessary safety steps required to minimise the risk of spreading the Covid-19 virus. Keeping our passengers and staff safe remains our primary aim during the pandemic, and at all times our transport services will abide by the current government guidance on safe travel and public transport. Our new travel protocols are shown below - please note these are kept under constant review and risk assessment.

SHUTTLE BUS SERVICE

RE-ESTABLISHING BROKEN TRANSPORT 

LINKS TO TOWNS & COMMUNITIES

CSC will develop and support a number of weekly shuttle-bus services for each hub area located in Banbridge, Craigavon, Dromore, Lurgan and Portadown.

CSC's community shuttle-bus services are aimed at providing greater access to essential services for older people, people with disabilities and individuals suffering from poor transport links and rural isolation. Your community shuttle bus will provide you with a door-to-door service to your nearest market town or shopping complex. The maximum cost of this service will be £2.00 per person (return).

You will also have the opportunity to socialise and travel with members of your local community. This service will prioritise concessionary pass holders and people suffering from reduced mobility and rural isolation.

A fully accessible vehicle suitable for wheelchair users and a professional driver will be provided for your travel.

If you are interested in setting up a community shuttle-bus service service for your area please fill in a proposal form below and we will be in contact.
