On-demand bus service expands to rural communities

A bus service has expanded to help improve connections for rural communities.

Wiltshire Council's Connect bus service, which has carried more than 100,000 passengers since launching in Pewsey Vale in 2023, now serves Royal Wootton Bassett and Malmesbury.

The buses are on-demand and can be booked either through an app or over the phone.

Parvis Khansari, from the council, said: "This service is helping to improve transport options, connecting residents and making it easier for people to travel in rural areas."
