Bath Community Transport Ltd (BCT) is an exempt charity and a registered society, set up in 1986 to provide specialised transport for groups representing the disabled, elderly and others who cannot use conventional public transport. 

BCT operates in Bath and District and is administered by a Manager who is responsible to an elected Committee of Management. BCT currently also employs a full-time Driver/Administrator and two part-time drivers, together with a pool of volunteer drivers to assist groups that are unable to provide their own driver.

BCT is not in competition with commercial operators. Its vehicles operate under Section 19 of the Road Traffic Act 1985, which provides for the disabled, elderly and others with a mobility handicap. We are supported by a grant from WECA,which together with the hire charges, are intended to cover standing, running and maintenance costs with a small contingency for vehicle replacement.

Membership is open to groups who wish to hire vehicles (User Groups) for a joining fee of £15 plus an annual subscription of £10. The Committee of Management reserves the right to reject membership applications.

Currently, BCT owns seven minibuses. They are fitted with passenger lifts and converted to carry 12-seated passengers or up to two wheelchair passengers plus up to six seated passengers. Hire charges are based on the mileage covered during the hire. For further details please contact BCT on 01225 832317.

Although we primarily offer group transport, we do have a limited capacity to support eligible individuals with transport (once a member), to attend medical related appointments within the region.
