A bus service that helps people with mobility issues travel safely has been given a new electric minibus.
The Chilterns Dial-a-Ride (CDAR) offers a door-to-door service for those who are not able to transport themselves or use public transport.
The new addition comes five months after CDAR received another, larger minibus. Both buses were funded by donations from The National Lottery Community Fund and from seven of the southern Buckinghamshire Council Community Boards.
David Ouvry, chairman of CDAR, said: “With the addition of these two new minibuses, we now have a fleet of 10 minibuses, all of them with electric tail lifts and with plenty of room to accommodate today’s modern wheelchairs.
“No less than half of our passengers are in wheelchairs and the electric tail lifts also allow step-free access for less mobile walkers.”
The larger minibus can hold up to 12 passengers and up to three wheelchair users. The new electric bus can carry eight passengers.
Journeys can be booked by calling 01494 766123. For more information about the service, please visit www.shorturl.at/woFNX
