Anyone can use the Taxibus, it is just the same as an ordinary bus, with the same sort of fares, and you can use your bus pass on it.

The North Craven Taxibus is an 8 seater minibus with space for a wheelchair. An electric ramp also makes the bus easy to board for people with mobility problems. The service is operated by Bentham Community Transport and a small number of regular drivers provide a friendly, personal service.

When does it run?
The North Craven Taxibus operates a flexible bus service on Monday to Friday, 8.00am to 4.30pm.
