Fastrack (Bus Service)
|
Fastrack is a new part of the public transport system in Kent Thameside that is already making a real difference to local residents. Positioned in the hierarchy of public transport between the railway service and current bus services, Fastrack will ultimately connect nearly all of the major existing and new developments in Dartford and Gravesham with core express routes on which only Fastrack services will be allowed to run. Alongside enhanced bus services, Fastrack will provide the frequent, reliable high quality service that will ensure people can ‘get around’ – to work, to school, to play – even to London and the continent! Fastrack is not just a single or even series of individual routes – it is a new approach to provide an integrated public transport network. The key to its success is its priority for public transport over other traffic at traffic signals, bus lanes and wherever possible segregated track. Fastrack did not appear over night, it will be growing incrementally and as the network develops, the operating arrangements will simultaneously develop. Click here to download a Fastrack map.
