BAT Bus is a door-to-door bus service for people who live in postcodes BH1 through to BH11 who find it difficult to use public transport.

The buses have a lift/ramp and accessible steps to make it easy to get on and off and are also suitable for people who use manual or powered wheelchairs. Carers, guide and assistance dogs can also travel on BAT Bus.
