Top City Operator, maybe…

Plymouth Citybus has been shortlisted as ‘Top City Operator’ in the 2019 UK Bus Awards.

The prestigious national awards recognise major successes achieved by bus operators across the country.

Plymouth Citybus is up against seven other bus companies from around the UK for the Top City Operator award including other Go-Ahead Group operator, Brighton & Hove Buses, and Lothian Buses, National Express West Midlands, Nottingham City Transport, Stagecoach Manchester, Translink Metro and Stagecoach Merseyside.

After being shortlisted as a finalist in the same category in 2018, this year Plymouth Citybus believes it is in a strong position to go one better.

Winners of the UK Bus Awards will be announced on 19 November 2019 at a ceremony in London.

Plymouth Citybus has seen employee and passenger satisfaction scores rise to industry-leading levels, with the latter reaching 93% in 2019. Over the past year the company also increased its spend in the local community by 20%, supporting a number of worthy community projects and charitable causes. 

Richard Stevens, Managing Director, said: “This is a huge achievement for Plymouth Citybus and we’re pleased that the work we’re doing is being recognised as leading the way on the national stage.

“We are constantly making improvements to benefit our passengers, stakeholders and team. It’s important to us that transport in the city is at the forefront of innovation and this award nomination is testament to our work in trying to achieve this.”

Plymouth Citybus is also shortlisted as Bus Operator of the Year at the 2019 National Transport Awards, which take place on 31 October 2019.

Congratulations to Citybus for another strong achievement in getting shortlisted – again! There is some strong competition there though…
