It is available to everyone in Surrey in the areas shown on the map.<\/p>\n<p>It is a digital on demand bus service, known as a\u00a0<strong>Digital Demand Responsive Transport (DDRT)<\/strong>\u00a0solution.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how\">How it works<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"scc-img--right alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surreycc.gov.uk\/__data\/assets\/image\/0009\/345465\/Surrey-Connect-bus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" \/>The service uses accessible minibuses, with journey bookings made on a first come first served basis. Our software cleverly groups customer demands together in real time.<\/p>\n<p>When the booking is made with the &#8220;leave at&#8221; feature, the software takes your requested time and compares\u00a0 \u00a0 it with other customer requests in the area.<\/p>\n<p>It then links them up to create single journeys that are convenient for a group of users at once, scheduling the pickup time within a window of 10 minutes before or 10 minutes after the preferred booking time.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if you need to be at your destination for a specific time, such as a train departure, you can use the &#8220;arrive at&#8221; feature. It will then dynamically generate options for you that will get you there and ensure you are never late.<\/p>\n<p>The connect service operates Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm and Saturday 8am to 6pm.<\/p>\n<p>You can book up to 7 days in advance or on the same day. A minimum of 30 minutes notice is required to communicate your booking with the connect driver.<\/p>\n<p>Before booking, please\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.surreycc.gov.uk\/roads-and-transport\/buses-and-other-transport\/community-transport\/surrey-connect#more\">read our passenger information<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":11595,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_citadela_ignore_special_page":false,"_citadela_page_template":""},"citadela-item-category":[462,419],"citadela-item-location":[570,551,433,548,569,464,684,641,496,593,617,715,427,497,499,564,618,558,631,674,424,659,586,671,619,620],"class_list":["post-21977","citadela-item","type-citadela-item","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","citadela-item-category-transport","citadela-item-category-travel-transportation","citadela-item-location-ashtead","citadela-item-location-bagshot","citadela-item-location-caterham","citadela-item-location-chobham","citadela-item-location-cranleigh","citadela-item-location-dorking","citadela-item-location-dormansland","citadela-item-location-east-horsley","citadela-item-location-farnham","citadela-item-location-fetcham","citadela-item-location-godstone","citadela-item-location-great-bookham","citadela-item-location-guildford","citadela-item-location-haslemere","citadela-item-location-leatherhead","citadela-item-location-lightwater","citadela-item-location-limpsfield","citadela-item-location-lingfield","citadela-item-location-mickleham","citadela-item-location-ockham","citadela-item-location-oxted","citadela-item-location-shere","citadela-item-location-warlingham","citadela-item-location-west-horsley","citadela-item-location-whyteleafe","citadela-item-location-woldingham"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
