People who live in Stoney Stanton, Elmsthorpe and Sapcote can now use Fox Connect minibuses to get around their local area.
This is a rural transport pilot scheme which has been launched by Leicestershire County Council.
Councillor Ozzy O'Shea, cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "The future of rural transport could well be this type of on-demand service as it’s an innovative alternative to what is already out there. If the trial works well, we’ll look to expand the service into other areas."
The minibuses will pick residents up from places within the red boundary to take them to places such as Magna Park, Next Headquarters, Carlton Park, Fosse Park as well as Narborough and Hinckley train stations.
Fox Connect is a three-year trial scheme funded by a £1.3m grant from the Department for Transport’s Rural Mobility Fund.
Woods Coaches of Wigston are operating the FoxConnect service.
Sarah Gager, National Express Transport Solutions family of brands and regional managing director, said: “Public transport opens up opportunities, whether for work, education, leisure or health needs, so it's important that people have access."
