Community transport, dial-a-ride and taxi schemes
EnglandWalesScotlandNorthern Ireland
Local schemes that can help if you cannot use ordinary public transport easily.
What you get
Your local council may operate dial-a-ride, community bus, or taxi-card or voucher schemes. What is offered, and whether there is a charge, varies by area. GOV.UK notes these as part of financial help with vehicles and transport if you are disabled. There is no single national amount.
Who can get it
Rules are set locally. A Blue Badge, bus pass or disability benefit may be used as evidence in some areas, but you need to check your council or local community transport operator.
How to apply
Contact your local council’s transport or adult social care team, or search for community transport in your area. In London, also look at Taxicard through London Councils.
