We run every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 08:30 to 16:00 to make it easy for everyone to go shopping in local towns and villages, to access social activities and visit friends and family.

The minibus has 15 seats and easy disabled lift access, so you can just turn up at one of 30 stops and get on and off exactly where you want.
From June 2025 each journey is £3.00 but still FREE with any bus pass. You can donate to help running costs below.
Donate £1, £2 or £5 here (just put in ‘pickup’ as shipping method)
The timetable has 60-90 minute circular routes each day using safe local pick-up points and regular bus stops in Thorney, Southbourne, Westbourne, Hambrook, Nutbourne, New Brighton and Emsworth.
We also run a Wednesday service through Compton and Stoughton area villages to Rowlands Castle, Stansted Garden Centre, Westbourne, Emsworth and Havant Tesco.
