The Totnes community bus was piloted in 1997 after a chance remark made by a visitor to the Totnes Information Centre. She was complaining that the main shopping street was very steep and was not easy to walk up, especially for the less able shopper. She asked whether anyone had thought of the possibility of having a small shuttle bus which took passengers to the top of the town.
Since the group and the service have gone from strength to strength and is arguably one of the most successful community bus groups in the country. It now owns 3 buses, one of which continues to service the town and one which is hired out to town groups
