The Community Shuttle
This service is currently being implemented. It is a joint project with Surrey County Council to use vehicles that are managed by them, but are otherwise used only for services such as school transport.
The idea is that the shuttle-bus would simply run to and from Woking from, say, 7:00am to 9:00am and from 5:00pm to 7:30pm. It would be a simple point-to-point service running every 15-20 minutes. This would mean that a commuter returning from London, or a shopper wanting to get home, would know that they would not need to wait more than 15 minutes or so for a bus, even if they had just missed one.
The morning service would be aimed at railway commuters and people working in Woking; and the evening service would get them home again. People going to Woking for leisure (cinema, theatre, clubs, restaurants, etc) would benefit from the evening service, and shoppers could use either service.
Outside peak-hours, the minibus could be used for other frequent trips, e.g. for hospital patients and visitors, old folks clubs, etc. – indeed, any trip that could recover the marginal cost of operating it.
We have an excellent opportunity to improve accessibility to services; reduce the use of private cars; and, save you money! Watch this space for details of the times, routes, fares and how to use the service.
