HALF-price travel on the Bere Pick-u-Up taxi-sharing scheme is being offered for young people throughout this summer.
The scheme, which operates on the Bere Peninsula and provides transport to and from Tavistock, has been given a grant to allow it to charge reduced fares.
Young people aged 18 or under and students in possession of a valid NUS card will be able to take a journey around the Peninsula for just 50p and a trip to Tavistock will cost £1 during the months of July, August and September.
West Devon Community Safety Partnership, of which West Devon Borough Council is a leading member, has made the grant to help extend the scheme to more young people.
Councillor Gretta Madigan, chairman of the Community Safety Partnership said: 'We are very happy to support this scheme. It offers an ideal opportunity for young people to get around during the long summer holiday.
'The service is operated by a licensed private hire operator and passengers are picked up from their own front door and dropped off there on their return.'
The service runs according to a timetable and offers up to seven journeys per day, including evening journeys into and back from Tavistock.
Journeys need to be booked the day before users wish to travel.
For more information, pick up a timetable from the Tavistock and District Local Transport Partnership in the Anchorage Centre — next to the bus station — or phone 01822 618028 for more information or to book a journey.
