Your County - Putting Kent First

Kent 4 star Council

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 operator for your service.

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, visit our Plusbus page.

Concessionary Fares

Concessionary bus passes are available to Kent residents over the age of 60. These passes allow the holder free travel on services within Kent and on those that cross county boundaries, providing no change of service is made. Passes are valid from 9am on weekdays and all day on weekends and Bank Holidays.

For further information, or to find out if you are eligible, please contact your district or borough council.

Kent Freedom Pass

The Kent Freedom Pass scheme provides free travel for 11-16 year olds, all for an annual fee of £50. The Pass is initially being launched for students attending school in three pilot areas (Canterbury district, Tunbridge Wells district and Tonbridge urban area), but it is hoped to be rolled out county-wide in 2009 if the pilots prove successful.

Further information is available on the Kent Freedom Pass page.
