You can get buses that go all around kent from this bus station. It is reasonably clean and litter free. At busy times it is literally impossible to get on a bus due to people cramming themselves under the shelter. I would only recommend getting the bus here if you have no other option. If you can I would recommend taking the train.
The bus drivers have provided invaluable service over Lockdown. Bus timetables have changed so check the Stagecoach app. Must wear mask on bus. They do not give change. Tickets can be bought on the app too.
I must admit I've never used the bus service, it's got mixed reviews, but the town itself is great, mediaeval of course, Canterbury has lots of character, and excellent pubs, go there you won't be disappointed, highly recommended 🤗👍.
Be careful where you walk, the path can lead you without warning to where the bus drivers are drinking tea and larking about. There's no gate or signage to tell you the path has lead you in to their territory, and that they have shut off the entrance to the town wall. But that doesn't stop them being rude and abrasive that you are in their tea spot. Do the logical thing and put in a gate.
The bus station is the transport centre of Canterbury, connecting the centre with both the surrounding towns and other parts of the city. It’s proximity to Whitefriars is useful for those travelling to shop or eat and the on-site travel office is useful for left luggage and general enquiries about services. Unfortunately, the service operating in and out of the bus station is not so reliable. While ticket fares continue to rise, the buses are often late, dirty and uncomfortable. A lot has been done to try and rectify this by introducing new buses and altering timetables but these times are more idealistic than anything else, especially with the traffic problems in Canterbury. At peak times, the bus station can be very hard to walk through due to the sheer number of people which can be a challenge for those with disabilities. Although the operator cannot change then number of passengers, perhaps a queuing system could be implemented to ease flow of people.
