We Are Holding a Poll to Decide The Name of our New Bus:
We have some sad news and some exciting news…our bus Dobby is very poorly and he was poorly at the end of last year as well so he is coming off the road.
We’ve been working really hard to reduce our expenditure and improve costs over the past few years so we are (luckily) in a position that we can just about replace him.
For names we’ve decided we’re taking inspiration from the Bard so any new buses will be Shakespearean themed!
Help us choose what our new bus should be called by completing our poll
📊What do you think the new bus should be called?A: HamletB: OthelloC:MercutioD: BeatriceUPDATE:
We’re pleased to announce the results of our name the bus poll!

Our New Website is LIVE!
Last year we applied to the UWE CAKE (Community Action and Knowledge Exchange) project to have some free consultancy work, our project was a new website to supersede our long serving but aging original site. We were thrilled that our project was selected by a team of wonderful students that are in their final year. We met with Tom, Serena, Seb, Veena, and Elliot and discussed what we would like on our new website, and what Community Transport does.They have done an absolutely incredible job and we are pleased to announce:
Working with this group of fantastic students has been absolutely brilliant, not only is our new website beautiful, but they have taken the time to gain a perfect understanding of Community Transport and why it is important, we feel they have really captured the essence of Community Transport and that our new website really showcases GCT and the wider sector. You can also now complete a registration form online AND submit booking requests! We will be forever grateful to the team for choosing our project, completing the project to such a high standard but also really taking the time to learn about GCT. They are an incredible bunch of people and we know that they will go far in their futures.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Tom, Serena, Seb, Veena, and Elliot and we wish you all the very best for your final year and assessments, we think you will smash it
