Community Transport Manchester (CTM)
Following regional reorganisation in Spring 2009, Community Transport Manchester took over the management and operation of all passenger transport services in Greater Manchester. With a mixed fleet of 27 accessible and standard minibuses, located at depots in Manchester, Salford and Oldham, now available for community use, we are ideally placed to meet your transport needs.
If you would like to discuss your transport requirements or need a minibus, contact our central bookings team (manchester@
communitytransport.org or telephone 0845 077 2246)
Passenger transport services in Greater Manchester can be divided into three main areas:
Contract work
Including Special Educational Contracts, Social Service Contracts, Health Service Contracts and a Sainsbury’s shopping service.
In partnership with Stockport Community Transport, during the Spring of 2009 we secured a 6 month contract with Tameside Primary Care Trust to provide transport for renal patient
Group hire
Community and voluntary groups can hire our buses and can use either our drivers/volunteers or their own driver. As we are committed to providing safe transport, all our drivers are trained to a nationally recognised standard (see below) Please contact our central booking team (manchester@
communitytransport.org or telephone 0845 077 2246) for details of current rates.
Demand responsive
We operate two demand responsive services called Local Link, providing transport for individuals. One in North Manchester, in partnership with Greater Manchester Accessible Transport Limited (Ring & Ride) and the other in Salford.
