List of bus operating companies

This is a list of the world's bus operating companies listed by country, with countries placed alphabetically by continent and country.

Wherever possible, each country's bus operating companies are divided by the nature of their operations. Operations may be logically divided by defining attributes such as:

• Ownership: private or public?
• Primary function: commuter service, school buses, tours/event buses, or bus charters?
• Area served: cross-national, cross-provincial, or a single province?
• Activity: Is the bus company currently in operation?

This list includes companies operating now. The list does not include bus manufacturers or repairers. It contains mostly public transit operators.

This transport-related list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Russia

There are no nationwide bus operators in Russia, as passenger operations have been traditionally conducted by the Russian Railways. Despite that, there are local bus operators (privately or state-owned) usually called PATP or ATP (literally passenger auto-transportation enterprise or auto-transportation enterprise) which send their buses to Moscow, St. Petersburg, or neighboring cities. There is no unified database of schedules of such routes, and tickets can be purchased on site only.
