BUS drivers, including those at Oxford Bus, do a wonderful job for the people of Oxford. The Oxford Bus Company has invested heavily in clean public transport in the city.

Buses are absolutely vital to keeping our city running. We certainly notice when they are not there.

I hope both sides get around the table again and settle this strike quickly in the interests of Oxford’s many bus users. Oxford Bus is a successful and profitable company for the Go-Ahead Group. It is only right that the drivers who help create that profit get a fair share.
