Our modern open-top buses present a stimulating perspective from which to see Bristol, and our classic buses lend charm and a touch of the past to any occasion.
Recently our buses have provided: a mobile studio for art students on a drawing tour, taking in Bristol vistas over an entire day; a viewing platform from which the Lord Mayor and other VIPs watched the 'Bristol 10K' marathon; a mobile venue for 'The One Show' with presenter Giles Brandeth interviewing Bristol's Pirate Pete; and a shuttle service for Bristol primary schools to the City Museum.
