Taking Care of Every Journey: Oxford Bus Company’s Sustainability Report
The bus industry has continued to face significant challenges as we bounce back from the pandemic. While keeping our colleagues and customers safe has remained a key priority, we have strongly focused on diversification to ensure we rebuild better from the impact of the pandemic.
Oxford Bus Group have connected passengers across Oxford, South Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Reading since 1881. We also provide services between Oxford and Heathrow and Gatwick Airports. The Group’s fleet consists of 271 buses and coaches across three depots (Oxford, Didcot and High Wycombe).
We have also offered open-top bus tours of Oxford, since acquiring City Sightseeing Oxford in December 2017. Since then, we have made multiple improvements to the fleet, further enhancing the customers’ experience. We provide employment for over 700 people throughout the region. As with many other businesses, the services we operate were significantly affected by the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
However, all four of our businesses have worked incredibly hard to ensure the safety of our colleagues and customers.
