How big is the bus?

Initially it will be a 16 seater but this can be reviewed if there is a demand.

Will it carry wheelchairs?

Yes, if necessary but this will reduce the capacity of the bus. Prior booking is essential.

What will the fare be?

How do I participate?

In order to satisfy Bus Regulations, all users need to register by ringing the Administrators and supplying details. The user will then be given a personal code number to use when booking. The user can register even if they do not intend to use the bus immediately.

How do I book?

The user rings easy-go during office hours and give details of the journey or journeys the user wishes to make including time, pick up point and set down point. These details will be supplied to the driver who will check the user onto the bus and collect the fare. Bookings can be made for one journey or multiple journeys up to 14 days in advance.

Can I book on-line?

Not at present but a system is being developed.

In an emergency, could I just turn up at the stop?

Yes, but the user can only travel if there is non-booked room on the bus. If the user is not already registered he will need to show an ID card for a Company on the Business Park or some proof that he is traveling to a Company on the Business Park. The driver will take details and register him with the administrators. The Administrators reserve the right to check with the Employer. Please bear in mind that the bus may not stop at bus stops on the Park where no bookings have been received from that stop.

How do I contact the Administrator?

For bookings please ring 0161 419 3580 between 0830 and 1630 on Monday to Friday.

How do I find out about the service?

Details are available on the Cheadle Royal site website www.musedevelopments.com/cheadleroyal or on individual Company Intranet sites. Failing this please ring easy-go Community Transport on the above number or e-mail info@easygoct.org.uk
