Redditch Kingfisher Golf Club Launches New On-Demand Transport Zones
08/13/2024
Newly launched zones, which will be live today...
The expanded service, which as you already will know, has already been a great success in other parts of Bromsgrove (over 65,000 trips since launch) and the wider county, will see on demand buses drop off at locations that previously haven’t been regularly served by other forms of public transport.
Residents will have the opportunity to travel to and from rural destinations and business which, in turn, will support the local, rural economy. These destinations include Beckett’s Farm, The Transport Museum, Attwell Farm Park, Lickey Hills Country Park and many more. The service will also be available to and from the Princess of Wales Community Hospital.
This launch is hugely important for local communities as it means that local people will be able to get to more places in the north of the county, many of which are not supported by a local bus service. Local rural businesses should see a benefit with both the increase in visitors and ease of travel for their current and future workforce.
Not only will the on-demand service support local people to get around Bromsgrove, it will also help travel out of the county to Birmingham and further afield by covering train stations at Barnt Green, Shirley and Whitlock’s End.
Journeys can also be made to destinations outside of the new expansion zones including Abbey Stadium, The Jinny Ring Craft Centre and the Clent Hills.
Worcestershire on Demand provides bus transport on request using variable routes and timetables, and has racked up over 65,000 completed trips in the Bromsgrove area since the Council launched the service three years ago.
On demand buses offer a bespoke alternative service to the familiar local bus and provide a flexible and affordable form of public transport and run from 7am until 7pm Monday to Saturday.
Booking a journey is done through an easy-to-use App and passengers will be charged a flat fare of £2.50 a journey, with new riders getting their first journey free of charge, additional passengers paying £1.25, and concessionary cards accepted after 9:30am.
