Bus passes

11, 265 and 374 bus services

Due to strict limits on council spending, a decision was made by Cabinet in March 2023 to end our funding subsidy for the 11, 265 and 374 bus services. This decision will now be reviewed, with the review proposed to take place in June 2023. Until the review is completed and a final decision made, the 11, 265 and 274 services will continue as normal.

Single bus fares capped at £2

Until the end of June 2023 you can get any single bus ticket for a maximum fare of £2 on all bus routes in Thurrock, except those operated by Transport for London.
