Halstead Hospital Hopper Bus
HOSPITAL HOPPER
Braintree District Council’s community transport team has launched a year long pilot initiative, with help from Essex County Council, to fund a Hospital Hopper Service that will take to the road from Monday 20th February 2012. The Hospital Hopper will offer a free and direct ‘shuttle service’ for any person with a concessionary bus pass who is unable to access conventional public transport to travel to Broomfield, Braintree Community or Halstead hospitals. For people with disabilities, elderly or those unable to walk a door-to-door service can be arranged. Dogs that assist disabled people are welcome and travel free. Escorts are welcome but they will need to show a valid bus pass or pay the fare. The service will run from Monday to Friday, up to three times per day – depending on local need. The service is also available to those without a concessionary bus pass on payment of fares.
Areas served by the Hopper are: Castle Hedingham, Sible Hedingham, Gosfield, Halstead, Greenstead Green, Earls Colne, White Colne, Colne Engaine and Braintree.
