Quality bus partnerships
A quality bus partnership is an agreement between the principal
bus company, Kent County Council and the district or
borough council.
The partnership aims to develop all aspects of bus travel and to
increase the number of passengers using bus services, with the aim
of bringing about significant improvements in the quality of bus
services in the county.
We have signed 7 quality bus partnerships with local
bus companies and district councils in Kent, covering the areas
of:
The local authorities are investing in improvements such as bus
lanes and bus priority at traffic lights. There are also bus stop
improvements such as raised kerbing and traffic restrictions known
as bus stop "clearways".
The bus companies are investing in easy-access low-floor buses
and are improving the frequency, punctuality and reliability of
their services.
