New community bus pricing! |
 |
 |
 |
|
Finally we have been forced to increase our community bus rates, for bookings from 15th May 2009 community bus use with a volunteer driver will change to the following: - Booking charge per day £12.00
- Mileage charge £0.50 per mile
- Minimum charge £20.00 per day
Mileage will actually be charged at £0.31 per km as the vehicle odometers are in kms however his equates to approx £0.50 per mile. This is the first increase since we started operating and we hope that our clients will understand. |

The project involves the recycling of waste cooking oil from schools and other council properties into biodiesel for use in the community buses. It is a project which could easily be replicated accross the country and if anyone would like information on how we make it all work please feel free to get in touch. |
