Outside of Kent: you can use your pass to travel to counties bordering Kent if the journey starts or ends in Kent. You cannot use it on London buses.

Medway: you can use your pass if your journey starts or ends within the Kent County Council administrative area, but you cannot use your pass to make journeys from one Medway point to another Medway point.

Additional use of your KCC Travel Saver

Some bus operators allow you to use your pass at other times than the Monday to Friday, 6am to 7pm limit. Check with your operator before attempting to use your pass on evenings and weekends.

Arriva and Stagecoach usually voluntarily allow students to use their pass during evenings, weekends and school holidays.

Behaviour of pass holders

At all times pass holders are expected to follow:

If you do not, your pass may be taken away or you may even be banned from travelling on certain buses. Read the KCC Travel Saver Terms and Conditions.

Problems and complaints with bus services

We do not have overall control over bus services or bus operators.

The KCC Travel Saver does not entitle any student to travel on a particular service, does not guarantee space on any vehicle and cannot be accountable for problems with the vehicle reliability.

Problems regarding the bus services should be directed to the relevant bus operator.

However, you can let us know of any general issues experienced by using our online feedback form. We use this information to spot problem areas in our regular discussions with bus operators.
