A Road Less Travelled: Case Studies from Community Transport

This chapter presents the final United Kingdom (UK) case study. It describes the wide variety of community and voluntary-run and owned transport services that are provided in the UK under the broad umbrella of community transport. The chapter presents six individual cases, which are based on visits made by the author to different community transport projects between April 2001 and April 2003. Each case study offers a different approach to the problems of social exclusion, but there is considerable regret about the myriad other projects up and down the country that might have been included as examples of good practice. This chapter provides a study of all the many different forms of community transport projects and snapshots of a movement that is constantly changing, constantly adapting their service in order to meet new, or newly discovered areas of need.
