Bus complaint advice

19 November 2020

Transport Focus is unable to help passengers with specific complaints about bus and coach (scheduled domestic) services. However there are other organisations that will be able to help you. Their various roles and contact details are all explained below.

Complaints in the UK (outside of London and Northern Ireland)

If you have a complaint about a bus or coach journey in the UK (outside of London and Northern Ireland) please let the bus or coach company know first. If you don’t feel it has been resolved to your satisfaction, you can raise it with Bus Users UK, the only approved Alternative Dispute Resolution Body for bus and coach services. You can contact Bus Users by post, phone or online to act on your behalf to resolve your complaint.
