Buses got their names after a hat shop in France! The word \u201cbus\u201d itself comes from the Latin word \u201cOmnibus\u201d but this was actually a reference to \u201cOmnes Omnibus,\u201d which was the name of the hatter shop located next to the first bus station in Nantes, France back in 1823, which was in turn a Latin pun on the name of the owner, \u201cOmn\u00e8s\u201d.<\/p>\n

The world’s largest bus is in Beijing and can carry 300 passengers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Brighton and Nottingham have the highest levels of bus journeys per person at around 160 journeys per head of population in the latest year; around 10 times the level of more rural areas such as Somerset and Herefordshire, and more than three times the average outside London.<\/p>\n

South Lancs Travel were founded in April 1998.<\/p>\n

NCT operates 23,175 hours\u2019 worth of services per week. This is about 1.2 million per year.<\/p>\n

NCT routes cover 405,387 kilometres per week. That\u2019s over 21 million every year.<\/p>\n

75% of Nottingham\u2019s principal bus operator’s current fleet, Nottingham City Transport, has ‘next stop’ audio and visual announcements. NCT aims for this figure to be at 100% by 2016\/17.<\/p>\n

A high passenger capacity bus has the ability to substitute 36 cars on the road.<\/p>\n
