About Konectbus

Konectbus first began as Konect Coaches in 1999.

Konectbus is based in Dereham and also has a sub depot in Rackheath. In 2019 significant changes were made to the network including enhanced frequencies and later evening journeys. 

We continually invest in our buses and technology including the purchase of 23 brand new buses in 2015 and by offering our customers enhancements like free wifi and USB chargers so they can make the most of their journey time with us. In 2019 we invested in three brand new single deckers for Postwick Park & Ride with euro 6 stop/start engines, helping to improve air quality in Norwich. 

We continue to invest in technology and now all of our buses accept contactless payments offering more convenience to those wishing to travel. Our investment in off-bus ticketing technology makes bus travel available to buy online from the comfort of an armchair with our mobile app, Konectbus app.

We also operate Norwich Park & Ride, relaunched in 2015, which includes the operation of six sites around Norwich. Five sites serve Norwich City Centre and the sixth serves the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital and the University of East Anglia.

We pride ourselves on our customer service, punctuality and ease of use. All buses are low floor and easy access - and we have spaces available for wheelchair users.

Go East Anglia

We carry over five million passengers a year on 159 bus routes and all of our buses are branded with their own unique  to give local identity to the towns we operate in.

These networks are mainly commercially operated, but there is significant involvement in the tendered local bus market, together with school and college services. The prestigious contract to operate Norwich Park & Ride for Norfolk County Council is currently held.

We currently employ more than 350 people and strongly believe in investing in and developing our employees.
