In response to the Covid-19 crisis, Sevenoaks bus services 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, operated by Go-Coach, will temporarily be replaced by an on-demand service from next week.

The three-month trial period is taking place because of falling passenger numbers and uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.

The protection of bus services for key workers, such as NHS staff, and for those that have no choice other than bus, has been the key task of operators and Kent County Council’s public transport team over the past few weeks.

Branded Go2, the service will be bookable using a mobile app developed and powered by ViaVan, operating like a shared taxi, meaning that journeys will be made only when and where they are required. Users can download the app in the iOS and Google Play store starting April 14.

The service will run between 6am and 6pm, Monday to Saturday and will usually pick passengers up within half an hour.

Via the Go2 app, users will be able to track their bus’s movements both for pick-up times and any changes to arrival estimates.

Current bus fares will continue to apply, and people with bus passes can continue to take advantage of the concessionary schemes.

The new service starts on April 14 and further information can be found at www.go-coach.co.uk

Kent Public Transport (KCC) has been working with Go Coach and ViaVan to bring this service to Sevenoaks residents
