Important changes taking effect from April 1st 2011:

From April 1st 2011, Kent County Council (KCC) will take responsibility for the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) in Kent. ENCTS passes provide free local bus travel for elderly and disabled people.

Government funding has been reduced and KCC will receive less money to pay for the scheme than the districts had previously.
As a result, KCC will operate a national standard scheme, meaning:
From 1 April 2011, ENCTS passes will be accepted for travel from 09.30am to 11.00pm Monday to Friday and all day at weekends and on bank holidays. The same conditions will apply to holders of C+ passes and their companions.

 

Read more about this on the KCC website.
