How to Request a Drive

To ensure a smooth process for arranging transportation, please follow these steps when making a drive request.

 

Request Methods

• Email: This is the preferred method for drive requests. Please write to: tranport@amaravati.org

• Written Note: You may leave a written note with the necessary details on the Transport Coordinator (TC) desk.

• Verbal Requests: These should generally be avoided unless it's an emergency. Use your discretion for urgent matters.

 

Local Trip

For local trips, consider using the Hertslynx community bus if available.

• This service can be a convenient alternative for travel to Hemel Hempstead or Berkhamsted. 

• It is recommended to book the bus as early as possible, as availability is limited and it may not be possible to reserve a spot if requested just a few days in advance. More details to how to book a HertsLynx bus.

 

Advance Notice

Submit your drive request as early as possible.

• This makes it easier for the drivers and the Transport Coordinator to manage, especially during busy times when multiple drives need to be arranged.

• Even though last-minute trips can sometimes be accommodated, advance notice is always appreciated to avoid delays and ensure smooth planning.

 

Time to avoid

• Moon Days and Quiet Days: It is recommended to avoid asking Anagārikas and Anagārikās to drive on Moon Days and Quiet Days. 

• Early Morning or Late Night Drives: It is best to avoid very early morning (before 06:30) or late-night (after 22:00) drives. This is in consideration of the drivers, especially for maintaining their well-being and rest.
