Being driven

Some people find it difficult to use public transport due to a disability or mobility problem. Transport Solutions is a partnership between the London Borough of Richmond and the Richmond Voluntary Sector. It offers a number of different ways for people who would otherwise be unable to get out and about to visit shops and other local amenities.

  • Shopping schemesShopping can be difficult if you have a mobility problem but schemes such as the Super Shopper Bus Service can help.
  • TaxisTaxis are ideal for getting around when you have a disability. There are two schemes that can help - London Taxicard and Richmond Transport Vouchers.
  • Transport for group activitiesThere is a scheme in the borough that provides accessible vehicles for groups, with or without a driver.
  • Transport for London schemesTransport for London operates Dial-a-Ride for short trips and a mentoring service providing travel advice and personal assistance for your first few trips if you have a disability.
  • Other transport schemesThere's help in the borough to get to Day Centres, Social Clubs and hospital and other appointments if you can't use public transport and have no-one to assist you.
