Buses is a United Kingdom magazine, focusing mainly on the British public bus industry. It was originally published by Ian Allan Publishing, and from March 2012 it was published by Key Publishing.
Buses was published as Buses Illustrated from 1949 until 1968. The current editor is Alan Millar, based in Scotland. It also produces a yearbook, published in August every year for the next year. Buses is published on the third Thursday of each month.
Sam Clark has been working on the title since March 2013 and really made the title his own. He is who one contacts if advertising or promotional ideas are needed.
A sister magazine, Buses Focus, featured more in-depth articles, although this dual format was dropped after a rationalisation of the bus industry and for publishing cost reasons, in favour of larger main magazine issues.
Due to the continued success of Buses magazine, they launched a show in 2014 called "Buses Festival" which takes place at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire every August and has recently held its third show at said venue. Buses Festival is one of the biggest shows for bus enthusiasts to visit a huge variety of modern and classic vehicles on display as well as a wide range of traders who sell bus models, literature, photos and bus accessories.
