London Dial-a-Ride run by Transport for London (TfL) is a door-to-door community transport service for people with a permanent or long term disability or health problem who are unable, or virtually unable to use public transport.[1][2]
Historic sectors[edit]
Following the successful development of GAD-about, a local network of bus-comparable transport for disabled people in Greenwich in the 1980s, a clone prototype project was developed for London Transport which was then handed over in a modular form to allow easy implementation and scaling up.
Until 2003, the London Dial-a-Ride service consisted of six sectors, each of which had its own main colour on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibuses:[3]
Fleet[edit]
As of 2019[update], the fleet comprises 309 accessible vehicles.[5]

- Mercedes Sprinter 311D minibus
- Mercedes-Benz Vario 614D minibus
