Customers can use the service for travel for the same purpose they would do on normal public transport.
​
The service is particularly ideal for:

-
Anyone suffering from a temporary injury (such as a broken leg, a sprain, a sports injury or recovering from an operation);
-
Young and elderly people who find it difficult to use public transport;
-
Disabled people who want the convenience of a door-to-door service.
Customers can take a companion and dependent children with them provided they book them in advance. They use minibuses with ramps or lifts, so people who use wheelchairs or find steps difficult can easily use the bus.
