Somerset Council is expanding its Digital Slinky demand-responsive transport service.
First piloted in Somerton and Langport in May 2024, the service has now been rolled out to Sedgemoor (covering Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea and nearby villages) from 18 August, funded through the Government’s Bus Service Improvement grant. Taunton and Wellington will follow in September, with further expansion dependent on future funding.
Digital Slinky allows passengers to book via an app just one hour in advance, rather than 24 hours, with phone bookings still available. The service runs Monday–Friday, 7.30am to 5.30pm.
