Some community members may have already received a leaflet through the door promoting the Handicabs Lothian service. It’s a Scottish charity based in the Lothians which operates a transport service for people with a range of disabilities and health needs who are unable, or have great difficulty, in using transport.
 |
The services operate seven days a week. The main services provided are Dial-A-Ride, Dial-A-Bus and Ambulance.
Whilst the service is not free, it does provide a potentially affordable alternative for people of limited mobility. Membership costs £5 and booking in advance is advised. The vehicles are specially adapted to carry combinations of wheelchair users and other passengers safely and comfortably.
East Lothian Council is one of the charity’s sponsors. To find out more visit http://www.handicabs.org.uk/
