Services are run by the community and tailored to meet the specific needs of that community, often with a focus on providing solutions for vulnerable groups such as older adults, individuals with mobility issues or those living in rural areas where public transport options are limited.

Community transport can often be significantly more cost-effective than public transport options as they are usually run by not-for-profit community groups. Additionally, community transport typically offers more services such as wheelchair access and assistance for individuals with mobility issues. 

Since community transport solutions are designed around the needs of the community, they can be more flexible than commercial services. For example, services can offer direct transport to the nearest supermarket or health centre or can be on hand for personalised group outings. 

Community Transport can do a great deal to alleviate social isolation, especially among elderly people or those in rural communities. By traveling with other passengers, communities can feel more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

Last but not least, by using community transport, we cut down on the number of cars and taxis on the road, which results in less traffic and congestion, and a reduction in air and noise pollution.
