Connect2Wiltshire
Connect2Wiltshire is a demand responsive transport network in southern Wiltshire funded by Wiltshire Council,[1] operating in many places including Calne, Kennet Valley, Mere, the Vale of Pewsey, Wootton Bassett, Malmesbury and the Woodford & Wylye Valleys.[2]
It is an upgraded network combining Wigglybus and other shared taxi networks under one brand.[3] Unlike many bus services, all passengers have to book at least one hour before travelling. It operates standard taxi services also. Unlike standard taxis these are charged at bus rates.[4]
The name was chosen because the council required a new licence to use the name Wigglybus.[5]
Connect2Wiltshire also oversee bus routes 101/102/103 (Devizes to Pewsey), operated since August 2017 by Salisbury Reds.[6] These are ordinary bus routes and do not have to be pre-booked.
