Roehampton Transport Club (RTC)
Roehampton Transport Club (RTC) is our new free community minibus service.
About the service
This new council-funded minibus service is designed to help people in Roehampton to get around if they have difficulty using public transport. It provides door-to-door accessible transport to a rotating selection of local amenities and destinations.
The service forms part of our Alton Renewal Plan for investing in Roehampton and the Alton estate, working with residents and local partners to help this part of the borough thrive. RTC is operated by Wandsworth Community Transport on behalf of Wandsworth Council.
Who it is for
Roehampton Transport Club is most suitable for people who:
- Have some form of mobility limitation (the minibus can accommodate wheelchairs and mobility aids)
- Struggle to carry shopping home, or
- Have no existing public transport option
But, if you have any difficulty using public transport to travel to your destination, RTC is for you.
Exceptions
Children aged under 12 years of age or those under 1.35m tall cannot travel on the minibus due to seating and seatbelt regulations.
There will be no additional support offered, like mobility aids or volunteers to push wheelchairs. If you need this type of assistance you should use Wandsworth Community Transport's other services. Give the friendly team a call on 020 8675 3812 to find out more.
