Children and young people across Kent, along with their families, will have access to free bus travel across the county this summer - thanks to the county’s bus companies as part of the Reconnect programme developed by Kent County Council.
The passes will be available - for most students, via their school or college - to all students in Years 6 to 13. Family passes, for up to four family members, will be available for at least one child and one adult travelling together. For both, the period of free travel will be from 23 July to 31 August, and will cover Arriva and Stagecoach services, along with other services that KCC subsidises.
The Reconnect programme, launched last year and continuing through the 2022 summer holidays, was developed by KCC, guided by the ideas and views of the county’s young people, to enable them to take up social and educational opportunities after the disruptions of the pandemic.
You can find more details of the scheme in this KCC media release.
