Community Transport Services

More Than Just a Ride

For many of the people we support, our Community Transport isn’t just about getting from A to B – it’s a lifeline.

It’s about freedom, independence, and staying connected to the world around you.

Whether it’s getting out of the house, seeing friends, or simply having the choice to go where you want, when you want – we’re here to make it possible.

Safe, Accessible, and Friendly

Our fleet includes fully accessible minibuses, complete with secure wheelchair anchor points and tail-lifts for easy access.

Every journey is supported by friendly, experienced drivers who make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and at ease.

We also have four mobility cars, giving even more flexibility to meet individual needs.

Travel Your Way

Our affordable door to door service can take you wherever life leads, including:

Medical appointments or trips to the bank

Shopping and visiting friends or family

Lunch outings, theatre trips, or cinema visits

Local clubs, groups, and social activities

Volunteering or paid work opportunities

And even special days out – like a picnic on the beautiful Norfolk broads

Your Social Club on Wheels

- - - - For many of our members, this service becomes something even more special – a chance to chat, laugh, and connect along the way.
        That’s why it’s often described as a “social club on wheels” – because the journey can be just as important as the destination.
        You can become a member or book a journey by calling 01493 332253.

Become a member

You will need to become a member to use our community transport service. This costs just £25 a year. We are not a bus or taxi service, we are something different, and our service is special. Centre 81’s drivers will help you get from your home to the bus and at the end of your visit or day out will make sure you get back safely to your home. Journey costs are much less than a taxi and a bit more than public transport fares. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept concessionary bus passes.

Click on the pdf file below, complete the application form and return your it with your membership fee of £25 to Centre 81, Yare House, Morton Peto Road, Great Yarmouth NR31 0LT. Once we’ve received it we will contact you by phone to discuss your transport needs and the journeys you wish to make.

Groups

We also support local clubs and societies by providing transport for their members. This can help your group to retain a feasible membership and your members can enjoy trips out as part of a group experience. You can book your group’s journey by calling 01493 332253.

Terms and conditions

We operate under Section 19 of the Local Transport Act.

We can accommodate an extensive range of mobility aids, including custom-built manual and electric wheelchairs. Unfortunately, we do not have the capacity to take large mobility scooters on our buses. If you need to travel with your scooter, please check with us first on 01493 332253.

We understand that some people need more than one mobility aid throughout the day and in some circumstances we can accommodate both a wheelchair and mobility walker.

We can provide transport for children under the age of 16 and have booster seats to meet legal requirements. If your son or daughter needs a child safety seat this should be provided by an accompanying adult. Please contact us to check the seat/bus compatibility.

Passenger assistant dogs are welcome.
