Fastrack is an award-winning Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) system that is transforming local travel at the heart of Kent Thameside.

Fastrack has the best characteristics of a modern tram delivered through a more cost-effective, flexible, bus-based system. Clean, comfortable, frequent buses provide a service that is a credible alternative to the car for local journeys. Operating largely on Fastrack-only busways and priority lanes, Fastrack vehicles are able to bypass traffic queues and congestion hot spots.

Passengers - Over 7.5 million people have used Fastrack since March 2006 - around 48,000 every week Fastrack Route A - Serves Dartford town centre, The Bridge, Crossways Business Park, Greenhithe rail station, and Bluewater. Fastrack Route B - Serves Gravesend town centre, Greenhithe rail station, Bluewater, Darent Valley Hospital, Dartford town centre and Ebbsfleet International. Future Network Development - Planned network expansion will see the addition of a third Fastrack route.  Ultimately a 40km Fastrack network will operate across the Kent Thameside area.

“If you are a resident at The Bridge, you get free travel on Fastrack's Route A. Every house has a little screen in their hall and can see exactly when the next bus is coming. So you can time your walk from the breakfast table to the bus stop to the second.” Paul Weston, Senior Vice President, ProLogis Developments.
