We currently operate a fleet 340 vehicles comprising of cars/small vans/wheelchair accessible cars/MPV/ Minibuses. We would not know how many or what type of vehicles our contractors use, but they are a mix of diesel PCV coaches, petrol and diesel Taxis plus diesel Ambulances.

We also purchase tickets for entitled children on 182 public transport routes.
