Ring and Ride Bus
Ring & Ride
is
a shopping service for disabled and frail elderly people living in Plymouth who are unable to use normal public transport.
Wheelchair accessible buses collect and return passengers to and from their own homes
and take them to Plymouth City
Centre, Tesco Supermarket at Transit Way and Sainsbury's at Marsh Mills.
Services operate
Monday - Friday between 10.00 am and 3.00 pm.
City Centre passengers can be dropped off at the specially designated bus bay in Royal Parade [currently
outside the Theatre Royal] or at our premises in Mayflower Street East Car Park.
Passengers pre-book their journey at least 24 hours in advance by phoning
600633, although it is advisable to book earlier as the services are usually heavily subscribed.
We can take bookings up to
12 days prior to the journey and passengers may take an able bodied partner or escort
if
necessary. All buses have tail-lifts for easy access.
Guide dogs are accepted but please inform
us when booking.
Time tables for individual areas [zones] are available on
request or you can choose the relevant zone and print from this web site.
Concessionary travel schemes have been implemented throughout
the UK enabling free travel for elderly and disabled people using
public transport at off-peak times. Plymouth City Council have currently decided to extend
this concession to include the Ring and Ride scheme. Consequently there will be no charge to use the Ring and Ride bus service
for eligible passengers.
Zone 1 West / North Plymouth
Zone 2 East / South Plymouth
