Lewes Dial-a-Ride
Dial-a-Ride is a door to door transport service for people living in the Lewes area who find it difficult to use ordinary bus services.
We operate on Tuesdays and Fridays and use vehicles which provides easy access for passengers – including people who need to travel in their wheelchairs.
Lewes Dial-a-Ride can be used by anybody who has difficulty in accessing public transport. Holders of National Bus Pass are automatically eligible.
A companion may accompany you if you need assistance, and will travel at the same rate as Dial-a-Ride members.
In order to use the scheme you need to register for free membership.
As from 19th March 2012 the Dial-A-ride will operate 5 day’s a week.
