Thanet Bus Strategy

In July, 2000 a Quality Bus Partnership was signed between Thanet District Council, Kent County Council and the major local bus operator Stagecoach in East Kent. The Partnership aims to increase local bus usage by 3% per annum, year on year, over a ten-year period commencing in 2000.

Kent County Council published its Bus Strategy for the County in July 2001. The Thanet Bus Strategy is intended to complement this document and to explore the local needs and challenges of Thanet in greater detail. In developing this strategy, Thanet District Council is aware of the need to co-ordinate its bus strategy with those of neighbouring Districts, particularly where services cross District Council boundaries.

The intention of The Thanet Bus Strategy is to present a ten year plan which, if achieved, will lead to an improvement in the quality, reliability and perception of bus services in Thanet. This will include measures to enhance information, infrastructure and vehicles as well as the actual service delivery.
