AccessBus is a dial-a-ride bus service providing door-to-door local transport to people who are unable to use conventional bus services.
The buses have either low floor, ramped access or are fitted with a passenger lift. Both types of vehicle are fitted with the most up-to-date safety equipment. AccessBus is free of charge to residents of West Yorkshire and operates between:
- 9am - 5.30pm Monday to Saturday
- 9am - 5pm Sunday.
- A limited evening service is available to groups of 5 or more.
Who can use AccessBus?
Anyone of any age who is unable to use normal bus services or who has extreme difficulty in doing so because of a disability.
You may take a companion with you if you need assistance while travelling or at your destination.
Where can I go on AccessBus?
Due to the very high demand for the service travel is restricted to local journeys only. Most trips are for shopping purposes, such as to the local supermarket or shopping centre, but we also provide a limited number of journeys for social purposes, e.g. to the local community centres.
AccessBus is not able to cater for day and time-specific requests for appointments.
To make best use of the vehicles, we serve certain areas on set days, allocating places to customers to travel on the day when the bus is in their area.
