Kingswood Community Transport - Dial-&-Ride
Kingswood Community Transport provides accessible vehicles for people who cannot easily use public transport or who are transport-disadvantaged.
KCT's Dial-&-Ride service will allow you to:
- Visit Family and Friends;
- Keep doctor and dental appointments using “Doctors Shuttle”;
- Play an active part in the community.
The service covers one way, not return, hospital visits to Southmead, Blackberry Hill, Frenchay, BRI, Cossham, and Children's Hospitals. The Doctors Shuttle provides trips, both ways, to doctor's surgeries, dentists, opticians and other services residents need. We run shopping trips to Broadmead, Yate, The Mall, Kingswood, Staple Hill, Keynsham, Asda, Sainsburys at Emersons Green, Bath and many more.

Membership
South Gloucestershire Council will cover the cost of your annual renewal to Kingswood Community Transport. However, we ask you to consider making a £10 donation to Kingswood Community Transport at the time of your renewal. The reason for this is that we are a charity and rely on charitable donations to be able to continue delivering our service to you and the wider community. We believe that supporting Kingswood Community Transport in this way is extremely good value for money.
