A new on-demand bus service has been launched in Berkhamsted and across the borough.
HertsLynx launched in Dacorum on December 11 with the new service described as being “Uber-like.”
Unlike traditional bus services, HertsLynx doesn’t follow a timetable or have any set routes. Instead passengers can choose from a wide variety of pick up and drop off locations within designated operating zones.
Passengers can select where and when they would like to travel by using the HertsLynx app, booking online or by phone.
The service will cover Berkhamsted, Hemel Hempstead and Tring, as well as surrounding villages such as Aldbury, Long Marston, Markyate and Wiggington.
A similar service has been operating in east and north Hertfordshire for just over two years and recently carried out its 50,000th trip.
Councillor Phil Bibby, executive member for highways and transport for Hertfordshire County Council, said: “Providing residents in rural areas with a flexible and frequent bus service that meets their needs is extremely important to allow them to go about their day to day lives.”
Passengers can travel on the service for just £2 per single journey until December 2024, with discounts available to concessionary pass holders.
