How to Use the Bus
 
Requesting a Bus to Stop
 
All bus stops that we serve are request stops (except for Bluewater, Lakeside & Grays bus stations).

If you are waiting at a bus stop
, hold out your arm/ hand clearly to signal the bus to stop. Please allow the bus enough time to stop safely.

If you are on the bus, press the bell and remain seated until the bus stops. Please allow the bus enough time to stop safely.
 
 
 
Paying for your Ticket
 
To help us speed up your service, please have your money ready before boarding the bus where possible.

Our drivers only carry a small amount of change, therefore they may not always be able to change high value banknotes (especially early in the morning). Please help us by refraining from using high value banknotes and using correct change where possible.

Please note that our drivers cannot accept £50 notes, Scottish banknotes or any other form of payment.
 
 
 
Buggies and Wheelchairs (Summary)
 
All of our normal local service buses are now of the low floor type (suitable for unfolded buggies & wheelchairs) and can be lowered down to the kerb. If our driver has not already lowered the bus for you, please ask. Some of our buses also have wheelchair ramps which can be deployed on request.

Buggies are carried at the drivers discretion. These must be placed in the ‘buggy areas’ towards the front of the bus and MUST NOT block the gangway at any time. You may be asked to fold your pushchair at busy times.

Wheelchair users have priority over able bodied passengers & buggies and you may be asked to move away from the wheelchair area or fold up your buggy to help accommodate a wheelchair.

We will allow electric wheelchairs on our buses provided they are of the latest design.

Each bus can only carry a maximum of ONE wheelchair.
 
 
 
Animals
 
Animals (including dogs) may travel at the drivers discretion. Animals which are not in a cage must not be carried on the seats.

Guide dogs are welcome at all times.
