Kent County Council in partnership with Arriva, Fastrack, Go-Coach, and Redroute offer bus commuters in Dartford, Gravesend, and Thameside a single ticket for all three areas.
How it works
Simply buy a valid ticket from any of the four operators and enjoy the convenience of using the ticket in Dartford, Gravesend and the wider Thameside area.
