Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What happens if I book a trip but can’t make the journey?

Any trips not taken will be refunded back to the account from which the payment came from.

If a user has a particular need that prevents them from making a card payment, how can they use the service?

We will work with users to ensure that if payment cannot be taken upfront for whatever reason, their use of the service will not be affected.

Are people’s personal card and bank details going to be safe and secure?

Payment is taken at the time of booking. The provision, like all the councils payments, whether via telephone or online, meet the (PCI DSS) Payment Card Compliant Data Security Standard. Meeting this standard is in line with our General Data Protection guidelines, which by being compliant means that our customers data is processes in a manner that ensures appropriate security of personal data.

Will people be able to pay by contactless payment?

We are actively exploring the use of Contactless Payments for the scheme.

Are there any plans to have a monthly payment plan service for individuals on low incomes?

There are no plans at present to have monthly payment plans for individuals on low income. We will work with users to identify ways in which they can access the service.
