Welcome!

Bexley Accessible Transport Scheme (BATS) serves to provide quality, affordable and accessible community transport for Bexley and the surrounding Boroughs. We operate a membership-only scheme, and our services are aimed at those with mobility needs, of all ages, and those with learning difficulties. We also provide transport for community and voluntary groups, Care Trusts, Social Services and SEN Schools.

We can provide a wide range of services thanks to our team of dedicated volunteer drivers. The video below is a fantastic introduction to BATS.

Co-op members can help fundraise for BATS

Please help us to fundraise to purchase a 16 seater fully accessible B license minibus, enabling BATS to transport disabled children, vulnerable and elderly members of the community and work to reduce loneliness and isolation.

When Co-op members buy branded Co-op products and services, the Co-op will give 1% to a local cause.

KIDS DAYZ Away

The 6 weeks holiday can be a long (and expensive!) time for any parent, with this in mind Bexley Accessible Transport Scheme are launching a new summer programme to facilitate inclusive fun and affordable family days out for children with Special Educational Needs and Physical Disabilities. All destinations have been chosen with the children in mind and so have disabled facilities.

Accessible minibuses with Wheelchair spaces to enjoy great days to amazing places for everyone!
