Do you, or somebody you know, require accessible transport?

Perhaps you currently have minibusses, and your drivers need additional training?

With almost 20 years of experience our team pride themselves in getting to know our customers; offering a transport service that is personable, dependable, and friendly. Ugobus provides tailored transport throughout Essex and is Essex County Council's in-house minibus fleet of over 80 accessible minibuses, with tail lifts and equipment for wheelchair travel.

  • The fleet undertakes contracted work to meet specific accessibility needs for adults and children and support local community transport provision (see the table below where we currently offer transport)

  • Provides student/mainstream transport to colleges and schools

  • 16-seater accessible vehicles can be hired with an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checked driver by non-profit organisations and registered charities
