Coaches provide great value for inter-city travel, with well over 20 million journeys on the scheduled coach network every year.

Bus priority works!

In Aberdeen, bus journeys are free during weekends in Jan.

How come?

The city has introduced bus gates, which have sped up journeys. Now @FirstGroupplc & @stagecoachgroup are reinvesting the savings in free journeys for passengers!

Drivers really do make all the difference, there are so many unsung heroes out there. Thank you for all that you do! @BusUsersUK

A massive thanks to all the #BusDrivers, #CoachDrivers and all the behind the scenes staff that are keeping passengers connected into the New Year.

[Confederation of Passenger Transport @CPT_UK]

Coach travel is an inclusive, sustainable and environmentally friendly travel option. This Christmas #CoachTravel has experienced a huge surge in bookings, keeping well over a million people connected with friends and family.

The bus sector is a major employer, with over 103,000 staff, including 82,000 drivers.

#BusTravel must be at the heart of transport planning so passengers can have fast, reliable bus journeys that get them to where they need to be on time.

It’s all about the relationships

Local bus service engaging with and involving local communities as they develop the 101/2 Dumfries to Edinburgh service.

1/6 🚌💙From the Kelty Clippie right up to today, women continue to keep the wheels on our buses going round and round. Wonderful (and important) post from Houston’s in Lockerbie.

“A big shout out to all the women who work in the bus industry, for Scottish Bus Week”
