Transport - real time information

Real Time information removes the uncertainty a passenger feels when waiting at the bus stop, by providing accurate information about the arrival of services at their stop. Providing confidence for passengers to make an informed and smart choice to travel by public transport.

How does it work?

Buses are tracked using satellites to pinpoint their location and it is then calculated how long each bus will take to arrive at your stop.

How can I access the information?

You can access Real Time:

• By Mobile Phone – Here you can search for a stop by town name, street name or postcode and receive data for real time enabled service. Additionally, you can also see scheduled information for non real time services.

• By the Internet – You can use the  service from a normal web browser. See above for more information.

• At the bus stop – there are a number of displays throughout Maidstone which count down bus arrival times in minutes on real time enabled routes.
