Changes to the Kent Thameside multi-operator fares from Sunday 28th September
9 months ago
In November 2024, Kent County Council introduced a range of multi-operator bus tickets, allowing customers to use Fastrack, Arriva, and Go-Coach services for a small premium over the existing Arriva zonal tickets. As other operators' prices and other funding arrangements havce changed, from Sunday 28 September 2025, Kent County Council have increased the prices of most multi-operator bus tickets in and around Thameside. While the Family Day ticket remains the same price, other fares rise to reflect funding changes.
As part of a review of network changes earlier in September, these tickets are now valid on more operators' services and routes, including all Fastrack and Arriva services, as well as:
- Go Bus routes GC1 (Gravesend & Thameside zones), 429 and 477 (Dartford & Thameside zones)
- Redroute routes 416, 417, 306, 308 (Gravesend & Thameside zones)
- 1st Bus Stop routes 489 (Gravesend & Thameside zones), D1 and D2 (Dartford & Thameside zones)
- Brookline route 479 (Dartford & Thameside zones)
Tickets can be purchased on all routes, as well as the Fastrack, Arriva, and Go Bus apps.
