History
Bath Bus Company’s history began when it was established by four former Badgerline managers in 1997.
Initially four buses were acquired, three of which were converted into open top buses and painted by three of the directors!

A major step was taken in 1999 when Bath Bus Company joined the City Sightseeing consortium, which involved re-branding the buses in the distinctive highly-decorated red livery. In 2003, City Sightseeing bought the popular tour operator Guide Friday.
Bath Bus Company was bought by Ensign Bus Company in 2004, at which point local service worked ceased and major investment in open top tours was made, which resulted in the delivery of new low emission vehicles. Audio commentary delivered via headphones was also the first of its kind in Bath.
In 2011, RATP acquired Bath Bus Company and it continues to grow. The A4 Bath to Bristol Airport Service was started in 2013, and the business is constantly looking for other projects to continue its expansion.
