London Dial-a-Ride 🚐

Getting around London should be accessible for everyone, which is why we provide our London Dial-a-Ride service. It now has a new booking system, making it easier than ever to use! 📲

Dial-a-Ride service 📞

London Dial-a-Ride is a service that provides a free, door-to-door transport service for older and disabled Londoners who can’t always use public transport. The service runs operate 7 days a week, 7am – 11pm and you have to become a member to use the service.

Members booking by phone can request 1 advance booking any day of the week, up to 7 days ahead of travel. Advance bookings are limited to a maximum of 1 return journey a week. Members can also request next day and same day journeys, where no limits apply.

You can book a journey through our new app or by telephone.

Upgrade your customer experience with our new Dial-a-Ride mobile app 📲

We have partnered with Via to launch a new London Dial-a-Ride mobile app. This upgrade will improve the accessibility and efficiency of the service, along with the overall customer experience.

You’ll still be able to book by phone if you prefer, but the new app and website offer members and caregivers access to an additional channel to the existing telephone booking. This offers more convenience and flexibility for booking, scheduling, monitoring and cancelling.

To find out how to use the new app, visit our website.
