Demand taxis not working out for everyone

Demand Responsive Taxis aren’t working out for more than half of the allocated rural areas say councillors.

DRT is a system that operates in areas where there are no regular bus routes. It works like a taxi service and costs around the same as a bus fare.

DRT is for anyone who wants to travel in rural parts of the Stirling Council area, regardless of age, disability, whether they’re a resident or a visitor.

If you use DRT, you might share transport with other travellers who are making the same or a similar journey.

Of eight DRT areas only three have a service operating.

Currently the only DRT schemes Stirling Council is able to provide a service for are Killin & Strathfillan, Croftamie & Drymen, and also Fintry.
