360 Connect is a ride share service.
‍
That means 360 Connect users heading in the same direction may also be picked up and share the ride with you. Sometimes that may mean you are the only person in the vehicle, and at other times it could be full. It does mean you are expected to meet the vehicle when it arrives, so you don't hold up a ride for others.

Our drivers can only wait a few minutes before they must head to their next pickup.

All our friendly drivers are 360 Connect trained and have completed comprehensive background checks. If you need extra assistance, they will be happy to help. 360 Connect is offered by The Community Transport Company.
