OneBus is a partnership representing bus operators in Greater Manchester, committed to improving travel as part of an integrated network that gets Greater Manchester moving.

Who We Are

OneBus is a unified collective of commercial bus operators in Greater Manchester. OneBus was launched in 2018 to enable bus companies to speak with one voice and drive a shared commitment with TfGM to improve public transport across the Greater Manchester region.

High-quality, good-value and easy-to-use public transport is critical to delivering better connectivity and improved mobility for local people. Most importantly, it underpins the region’s drive to create a thriving economy, ensure good jobs and opportunity for all, provide access to affordable housing, and deliver safe, healthy and inclusive communities.

What We Do

The OneBus partnership represents bus operators in Greater Manchester, committed to improving travel as part of an integrated network that gets Greater Manchester moving.

Buses are central to the future of Greater Manchester and working with TfGM and the Combined Authority we want to deliver a package of proposals that can make a real difference to tackling the biggest challenges facing our communities; road congestion and air quality.

Building on the significant investment already made by operators, we believe there is a window of opportunity for everyone to work together to deliver a revolution in the region’s bus network that puts customers first and offers excellent value for both passengers and offers excellent value for both passengers and public investment.
