About the service

CallConnect is an on demand bus service. Since 2001 our buses have been serving hamlets, villages and market towns throughout Lincolnshire. We offer passengers the flexibility to connect to their local communities, services and other transport options.

Our ‘book a bus’ service works on passenger journey requests that then form a schedule. This gives you the flexibility to be able to travel when it suits you the most.

In addition to our bookable service, we also offer a range of traditional timetabled services, complementing the bus network.
