Buster Werkenbak
Buster Werkenbak provides a demand-responsive service in North Warwickshire that enables people to access employment sites which operate a shift system collecting passengers from local pick up points and taking them to and from local employment sites. So, for example, if you thought about working at Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Kingsbury Link, etc. - and there are jobs available - but were prevented from applying in the past because you couldn't get there, Buster Werkenbak may be the answer.
We can take you to an interview and once you get the job, we can continue to take you to your place of work.
For further information, please contact a Transport Advisor on 0845 234 1234. They will take your details and provide you with your journey details.
Buster Werkenbak is operated by Merlin Venture Limited in partnership with Warwickshire County Council. The service is always evolving so if your place of work is not currently served please contact Buster Werkenbak as they may be able to help you in the future.

Wheelchair Accessible Bus Services |
Flexibus
Flexibus is the name of the County Council's scheme of wheelchair accessible bus services. The bus services are run of behalf of Warwickshire County Council by the A & M Group using buses with special modifications.
Flexibus services are open to everyone but are particularly helpful to people with mobility problems. To help people who find steps difficult or impossible, the bus used is equipped with an electric lift to help passengers on board. A trained, friendly care assistant is also on hand to help passengers on and off and to assist inside the bus.
There are around 45 Flexibus routes in the County, taking people from rural areas to nearby towns and providing people with mobility problems, even within town areas, the opportunity to visit the local supermarket or high street to undertake their personal business without having to rely on other people.
Although all the routes have a fixed destination point and certain specific boarding points, the buses can divert off route to collect people with mobility problems - you don't have to be a wheelchair user - from their homes. This has to be pre-booked before 0900 on the day of travel. Fares on Flexibus are no dearer than conventional bus services. The telephone number 0500 21 22 25 for bookings and enquiries is even free.
