The Ivel Sprinter is one of Bedfordshire's community bus schemes, and is operated as a registered charity by East Beds Community Bus Ltd. It is designed to serve the Biggleswade and Sandy rural areas, providing all members of the public with a local service which enables them to make journeys that are not available with other commercial operators.

Concessionary bus passes issued in England are valid on all Ivel Sprinter routes. Children aged 5-15 years travel at half-adult fares, children under 5 travel free accompanied by an adult. All other passengers travel at full fare.

This bus is supported by Central Bedfordshire Council, and sponsored by a large number of national and local agencies and organisations. It is managed and driven by local volunteers.

Please note that we operate a Hail-and-Ride policy. We will stop anywhere on the route if you signal clearly, subject to room on the bus, and road safety considerations.

Ivel Sprinter may also provide a bus for private hire. Please enquire through the Contact us page for further information. If you have already discussed, or previously used, private hire, you may print out the appropriate Ivel Sprinter Hiring document and send it to us. Note we have two buses viz, green and white buses respectively. Normally the green bus will be used for hire but check with us for the particular hire. Hire documents are:
