Public transport
There are numerous bus services that operate across South Holland; Interconnect, Call Connect and the Spalding Town Service. They are a mix of commercial and subsidised services. More information on planning your journey.
Community transport
Community transport is the provision of transport for people who are unable to use conventional public transport due to the lack of an available service, isolation, disability or mobility difficulties. Community transport is a demand responsive service and so often has to be booked in advance. They are set up to help benefit the local community and operate on a not for profit basis, although there is still a charge for using the service.
South Holland District Council is reviewing its dial a ride service and is working with Lincs County Council on alternative transport options. If you have any queries then please contact the Community Development Officer on 01775 761161.
