What is Ring & Ride?

Unlike Dial-a-Ride (which follows a set timetable) this is a door-to-door service that you must call and book in advance. The bus will call at your door and will take you anywhere within the local operating area.  

All our buses have very low steps or a lift. The driver is always on hand to help you and will assist you on and off the bus if you want.

Where does the service operate?

Ring & Ride currently operates within the following areas:

• Kirkcaldy
• Levenmouth - (Leven/Buckhaven/Methil/Methilhill, Kennoway, Windygates)
• Dunfermline (inc Rosyth from Monday 5th October 2009)
• Glenrothes

You can travel anywhere within an operating area. Unfortunately, you cannot use Ring & Ride to travel between different operating areas. For example you cannot travel from Kirkcaldy to Dunfermline using the Ring & Ride service.

Who can use Ring & Ride?

If it is difficult for you to use normal buses then call us. Your difficulty may be permanent or temporary, physical, mental or sensory.

Where can I go?

You can go anywhere you want, as long as it is within the operating area. You may want to go shopping, visit relatives and friends, go to work or to college, go to the cinema or bingo or just visit the park.

When can I travel?

What if I need a helping hand?

If you feel the support of a friend or family member would help please bring them with you. You can also bring your hearing or guide dog.

What does it cost?

If you hold a concessionary travel pass then you can travel free. If you need someone to help, they too will travel free.

If you do not hold a concessionary travel pass then you will pay 80p for a single journey or £1.60 for a return.

How do I use Ring & Ride?

We need you to register before you can book a journey. Registration is quick and simple, all you need to do is telephone the Ring & Ride office on 08451 55 11 88.
