FAQs

1. Can you send me bus timetable information?Transporting Somerset produces public transport timetable books for each of the following areas: Mendip, Taunton/West Somerset, Sedgemoor and South Somerset. These books are available to the public either by contacting Somerset Direct on 0845 345 9155 and requesting a book or by going into one of a number of timetable book distributors i.e. your Local Library, Tourist Information Centre or Bus Station and picking one up.

4. Can I use Community Based Accessible Transport?Community Based Accessible Transport is aimed at people who cannot use Public Transport. This may be because the transport is not accessible or because there is no service covering the required route.

Each Accessible Transport Scheme has its own eligibility criteria and you should contact your local Accessible Transport provider for further information
