CB3 Community Bus – restarts from 17th October
Great news – the CB3 Community Bus is starting up again from 17th October. Operated by Beaminster Town Council, this is a bus which needs to be pre-booked. The CB3 team says:
“Our team of volunteers are also keen to be back serving our communities. We will be running to the same timetable as before, with the same fares, (concessionary passengers may use their passes all day) but with with new Covid-safe procedures. As a minibus, we normally only have a capacity of 16 max. but with social-distancing rules in place, we could be limited to only 7 single passengers. However, if a couple or family group who are a ‘social bubble’ wish to travel, they will be able to sit together.
Because we want to avoid the risks of exceeding our safe numbers, and, more importantly, avoid having to leave passengers at the roadside, we are asking passengers to phone us on the bus phone to book a seat and their return journey. This is important if people want to be assured of a seat! The bus phone will be available for bookings all week and it will also be on the bus itself on Saturdays.
