A MINIBUS providing evening transport to Malvern and Worcester from nearby villages will be launched at the beginning of December.
The parish councils of Suckley, Alfrick and Lulsley, and Leigh and Bransford have joined forces to launch the scheme.
It will provide transport for the three parishes two nights a week, for a small fee.
The project has received funding of £27,450 from the Countryside Agency, £1,000 from Malvern Hills District Council and £100 from each of the parish councils.
The service, which is set to run on Thursdays and Fridays, will start about 5.30pm and run until 11.30pm. It will be operated by Community Action, which will provide a driver and vehicle.
Both routes will begin in Malvern, one picking up from the parishes and returning to Malvern and the other travelling to Worcester via the parishes.
"The prime thing is it's for young people, but we're hoping it will pick up older people too and eventually people will commute between the villages," said Pat Perks, clerk to Suckley Parish Council.
