Are you sure? UIVMM most of the Mobility Bus network is in the outer
suburbs, with long routes that penetrate into estates that regular
routes do not, to provide disabled and elderly people (and anyone else
who wants to use them) a 1 seat ride to the most popular destinations.

(a low frequency scheduled paratransit service).

It is low frequency (typically only two journeys, only 1 day per week)
and it is scheduled, but is it paratransit?

I thought "paratransit" referred to the (council operated) Dial-A-Ride
schemes.

I've used the phrase in this context as Mobility Buses have such low
frequencies and used specialised vehicles.

Don't forget that there is a progressive introduction of mainstream
bus routes in deeply residential areas....
