In the charity's own words
The Exe Valley Market Bus has been operating for more than 40 years and, for all of that time, has been run entirely by local volunteers for local people in a very rural area with no access to other public transport. It offers twice weekly scheduled route trips from Oakford to Tiverton serving villages between. It also goes from Oakford to South Molton or Barnstaple on alternate Thursdays.
