The Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for the "Berwickshire Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) Pilot Scheme." The project involves the delivery of a pilot scheme for demand-responsive transport using taxi bus routes in remote rural areas not covered by fixed route buses. The Council, based in Newtown St Boswells, UK, chose Teviot Taxi as the supplier for this service.
