The UK Bus Awards, organised by The Bus Industry Awards Limited

"We’re once again delighted with the response in this, our fifteenth year," said UKBA Chairman John Owen. "What with the economy and the demands on management time made by the Competition Commission, we were a bit nervous about the number of entries we'd get - but we needn't have worried."

The UK Bus Awards Management Committee has decided to expand its recognition of outstanding service in the bus industry by making awards to ’Unsung Heroes’. The prizes will be presented to one or more individuals who perform junior or middle management roles in the industry and are known for their hard-work, loyalty and devotion to duty.
