A new bus service in Watford is helping residents travel to local supermarkets.
Watford Borough Council and local organisation Communities 1st have organised the new Watford Shopper Bus.
Since January 2, Watford residents with mobility challenges, social anxiety, or other vulnerabilities have been able to book the Shopper Bus to get to supermarkets across the town.
The service is bookable up to three months in advance and costs £6 per person for a return trip, with an accompanying carer paying £1 per trip.
Elected Mayor of Watford Peter Taylor said: “I am delighted we are able to bring the Shopper Bus service to Watford, giving people who may need a little extra help a safe and welcoming way to travel to local shops.”
Stephen Craker, chief executive of Communities 1st, said: “Our service caters to individual requirements, ensuring a comfortable and safe shopping experience. We like to think the bus is more than just transport; it’s a way to meet new people, engage with your community, and enjoy shopping.”
