Bus fares

Bus fares on commercial services are determined by each operator and Kent County Council set their fares in line with these. Most services offer standard single and return fares, however you may find that a special saver or season ticket offers better value for money.

To confirm the exact cost of a journey, please contact the relevant service operator.

If you are travelling by both rail and bus, you may find that a PlusBus ticket can save you time and money. For further information, view our PlusBus section.
