Bus Service

https://news.surreycc.gov.uk/2023/08/31/on-demand-bus-service-launches-in-five-more-surrey-towns/

Surrey connect, is an on-demand bus service which will be available from 4 September across Tandridge, Farnham, Cranleigh, West Guildford and Longcross, in addition to the already established service in Mole Valley, to help residents travel sustainably. 

Wanborough and the villages to the West and South fall under the Farnham area.

Rather than being restricted by traditional bus timetables, the accessible mini buses are available for travel for everyone, when they are needed. The services operating in West Guildford, Longcross and Tandridge also operate out of the area, to enable residents to get around more easily and access key areas including some local hospitals and train stations.

The new scheme is funded by Surrey County Council to improve access to sustainable travel in areas of the county where there are fewer bus services. It comes after the success of the existing service in Mole Valley which launched last year and has transported over 20,000 passengers around the district.

Fares are charged based on how many miles are travelled starting from £2 for adults. 

Journeys can be booked:

Online at: www.surreyconnect.org.uk 

Via the ‘Surrey connect’ app – available from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (Apple)

Buses run Monday to Friday from 7am to 7pm and on Saturdays from 8am to 6pm.

Journeys can be booked with 30 minutes notice or up to 7 days in advance.
