Transport for London schemes

Transport for London runs two schemes to help people with mobility problems – the Travel Mentoring Service and Dial-a-Ride.

Dial-a-Ride

Dial-a-Ride is a door-to-door service run by Transport for London for people with mobility problems who are unable to use mainstream public transport. The service uses distinctive red minibuses that can accommodate wheelchairs and is for short trips that must be booked in advance. You need to be a member.

Travel Mentoring Service

The Transport for London Travel Mentoring Service gives disabled Londoners advice on planning a journey. It can also help them gain the confidence to make more use of public transport by providing someone to accompany them the first few times they use a low floor bus, accessible tube route or overground train service.
