Fife Bus

Anyone who has difficulty in using mainstream public transport due some form of reduced mobility. Your reduced mobility may be physical, mental or a sensory impairment, and may be permanent or temporary.

The service is free to use.

You can go anywhere you want, as long as it is within your permitted travel area. This is detailed in the Fifebus Service by Town publication.

You can use the service for any transport you require, for example:

• shopping trips
• visiting relatives and friends
• going to work or to college
• going to the cinema or bingo
• visiting the park

We can also tell you which shopping centres have Shopmobility, who may be able to arrange a helper for you or provide you with a scooter, or a powered or manual wheelchair if needed.

If you feel the support of a friend or family member would help, please bring them with you (just let us know when you book the bus). You can also bring your hearing or guide dog.

Firstly, you need to register before you can book a journey. Registration is quick and simple. Please telephone the Fife Bus office on 03451 55 11 88. Our friendly staff will talk you through the process and let you know if you qualify. Registrations will be accepted between 9am and 4:30pm.

If you have difficulty using the telephone, someone can call us and register on your behalf. Once registered, we will send out a welcome pack providing further details of the service and how you can use it.

Fife Bus is a Fife-wide service, available across Fife, from 8am to 5:30pm (Mon to Sun). Bookings are only taken the day before travel, with Friday and Saturday bookings taken on a Thursday and Sunday and Monday bookings taken on a Friday. You can see what days the service is running in your area by looking at Fifebus Service by Town.

As with other public transport services, it will no longer be a mandatory requirement for passengers to wear a face covering whilst travelling with us. We would, however, still strongly encourage their use at this time.

The Council will continue to review the Fifebus service in line with changing circumstances and any Government advice/measures and we will keep customers informed of any changes.

For further information about the service, please call Fife Council’s dedicated dial number - 03451 55 11 88 - between 9am and 4:30pm, Monday to Friday. A trained member of staff will take time to discuss with you the various services available in your area.
