Community Transport is a flexible, community-led transportation service designed to meet the specific needs of individuals who may find it challenging to use conventional public transit.  


The services are also beneficial for the elderly, individuals with mobility challenges, or those living in rural areas.


Most of the services are typically not-for-profit and often rely on volunteers.  They play a crucial role on promoting social inclusion by enabling access to essential services such as healthcare, education, employment and social activities.


Community transport serves as a vital lifeline for many ensuring that transportation barriers do not hinder individuals from participating fully in society.
