Ring and Ride covers a wide area which consists of eight districts that include; East, North and South Birmingham, Coventry, Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley and Wolverhampton.
Each customer has to be registered to use the service; it is free to register which can be done over the phone, by post or online.
The service operates Monday – Saturday between 8:30am and 10:30pm and on a Sunday between 8:30am and 3:30pm, fares are £1 each way before 7pm and £2 after 7pm and on a Sunday.
We have two dedicated Customer Service Centres that handle all of the day to day bookings. Lines are open Monday to Saturday from 9:30am to 2:30pm and during this time our dedicated teams take up to 8,000 calls a week. Customers that have access to the internet can also book via our website or by email.
We also offer a pre-scheduled booking service which provides our customers that travel to a certain place every week a guaranteed seat on that specific trip, which means they do not need to call in to book for the trip they only need to let us know if they are not travelling.
Ring and Ride has been operating for 33 years and is recognised as a successful and reliable service providing vulnerable customers the means of keeping their independence and reducing isolation within the community. It has also allowed many of our customers to gain new friendships through the service.
