Digital DRT bus service launched in Somerset

06 June 2024

 

Somerset’s demand responsive transport (DRT) bus service has been launched to cover people living in the town of Somerton and the surrounding villages.

The new Digital Slinky minibus service, funded by a £13m Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) grant from the DfT, will run on a trial basis until March 2026.

The Slinky app uses existing bus stops and landmarks as pick-up points, including supermarkets, town centres, education and health care services.
