yelabus has had a busy 2024 and we now have the statistics for the year as a whole.
Our vehicles covered a total of 13909 miles of which 985 were on Friday only yelabus Connect service, 1878 on the Monday only Yateley Town Council shopper service with an astounding 4900 miles for Young Carers. The remaining mileage was spread between numerous hirers and we are grateful to all who hired our vehicles during the year.
Across all of the operations there 8332 passenger journeys – and we had a total of 840 distinct operations – so we were close to an average of 10 passengers on each operation – so most of the time there is room for more as we operate 15/16 seat minibuses.
Over the year we have availability for over 1600 hiring slots (a slot is a morning or an afternoon or an evening) – which means that we also have plenty of capacity for more hires (only about half were used in 2024) and with recent addition to our volunteer drivers we have more resources available.
If you would like to hire either of our minibuses for a local trip or further afield (one trip during 2024 went to Bournemouth and I know that in 2025 we will be visiting Buriton as well as Aldershot and Camberley amongst many other local locations) please contact our Operations Manager who will be happy to explain how we work; how we can assist those with mobility difficulties as both vehicles are equipped to carry wheelchairs and have tail lifts to aid access; plus the relatively modest charges.
