This is a Peugeot Expert Tepee car which has six seats, ramp and tracking and is designed to accommodate a wheelchair in safety and comfort.
It is available to fill the gap between the Ring & Ride Bus and the Voluntary Car Scheme. It is intended for use by passengers who need to use wheelchairs, or who find getting in or out of a car difficult or impossible.
The car is driven by both volunteers and employees.
Frail elderly people or people with a disability who find public transport very difficult to use. Passengers may bring an escort.
