Dial-A-Ride provides a door-to-door transport service for people with limited mobility who are unable to use ordinary buses. The service operates seven days per week.

Passengers must be resident in Edinburgh or the Lothians and journeys are usually undertaken to places within Lothian.

The vehicles are specially adapted to carry combinations of wheelchair users and other passengers safely and comfortably. Each vehicle is linked by two way radio to our offices in Edinburgh, Dalkeith and Bathgate.

The driver will also assist you – it is part of the service – so please do not offer a tip.

You can make ONE advance booking and in addition you can try for as many bookings for trips on the same day or the day ahead as you wish. The availability of these bookings is subject to demand.
