A not-for-profit minibus service for those with limited mobility is entering administration after a huge hike in its insurance bill. Accessible Transport 4 U (AT4U), based in Fishponds, has confirmed redundancies and informed passengers that it will cease operating in February.
The award-winning service, which users say provides a lifeline in the South West for those who would otherwise find it difficult to leave the house, will stop on February 1 after 22 years. In a letter explaining the decision, it said its insurance premium had surged by 180 per cent and it could not afford to continue.

Bodes well for WECA» minibus idea if a not for profit company can't survive.
OR ... will DRT in the WECA area be picking up all these people being deprived of their community service?
