Scottish Bus Week 2023
Monday 22 May – Sunday 28 May 2023
Scottish Bus Week is an opportunity to celebrate bus and the role it can play as a solution to the biggest challenges we face. It is also a chance to show gratitude to those working in bus who provide essential services every day.
What is Scottish Bus Week?

Buses are a solution to challenges right now – they can help us to improve health, tackle the climate emergency, build a fairer transport system and improve access to opportunities
Why Celebrate Bus?
Now is a great time to show support for our buses in Scotland to keep services thriving, reducing congestion and emissions.
Buses can be a solution to challenges right now.
Buses can help us to improve health, tackle the climate emergency, build a fairer transport system and improve access to opportunities.
While buses can reduce emissions, air pollution and inequalities across our communities, they also make a significant contribution to our economy. Scotland manufactures low and zero emission buses. Investment in building buses and providing bus services creates good jobs. Buses reduce congestion which can cost Scotland £2 billion a year. Buses connect us for education, work and leisure.
Buses kept us connected throughout a pandemic and continuing to provide essential services.
Scottish Bus Week is a great moment to show our gratitude to all those who support and deliver our bus services throughout all the challenging times.
How can we get involved?
If you, your workplace or local group would like to take part in Scottish Bus Week 2023 your own way – with a celebration of bus, a presentation about all the benefits of bus or a fun challenge to encourage your team to choose bus.
All can improve health and reduce climate emissions! Do let us know so we can include you in the Programme!
Free presentations, goodies and pop up displays are available on request.
