It is essential that you Book a Seat prior to travelling from the first day of Summer Term, 6 May.
Visit zeelo.co or download the Zeelo app for iOS or android and search for your University of Kent Campus Shuttle. Purchase a free University of Kent Travel pass and then book your journeys. We recommend you use the Zeelo app so you can be notified of any disruption to your booked journeys. This will replace updates to the @CampusShuttle account on X (formerly twitter).
All passes are valid for any of the serviced stops (Keynes stop, Piers Quay, Historic Dockyard or Pembroke) between Canterbury and Medway campuses. If you are using the Piers Quay or Historic Dockyard stops, make sure to check the pick-up/drop-off times on the timetable. This will differ slightly from the time shown in your app and on your booking (from Canterbury or Medway).
For steps on how to book or cancel a seat, please watch the booking video or read the booking guide.
We have created the Campus Travel Updates Page to assist in planning your journey with information about planned travel disruptions that we have been made aware of.
Where possible we will endeavour to provide advance notice on full or partial closures of our campus car parks and any local roads. Please be aware we are reliant on receiving information from third parties and this may affect the notice we are able to provide to users. This is a new process and will replace the use of notices within the campus car parks. Therefore we advise that you check this page regularly.
Refer to our Planning your Journey page for further advice on how to check, who to follow on social media or apps to download for disruptions on local transport networks and roads.

From 15 January 2024, a new provider (Zeelo) is running our Campus Shuttle service between the Canterbury and Medway campuses.
The timetable isn’t changing but it will take some time to set up the new booking system. So for now, you just need to show your KentOne card (Student ID) to the driver to use the Campus Shuttle. There is no need to book.
Throughout the year we will be working with Zeelo to bring you a new and improved booking system as well as many more exciting developments to simplify how you use the service.
