Community Transport in Somerset operates where other suitable transport is not available. The schemes offer different types of transport to people in areas where there is little or no Public Transport, or where, for a number of reasons, it is inaccessible to them. These services are provided for shopping trips, Health appointments, social trips, access to clubs and day-centres, access to Public Transport links and to community facilities, etc.
