What do your buses look like?

Most of our buses are provided by our partner operators. They will not be in nakedbus.com colours. Your email confirmation will have a picture of what your bus will look like.

One of our buses

Sometimes buses will be provided by one of our partners. Where this is the case, your booking confirmation will advise you. Whenever this happens, there will be a nakedbus.com® sticker in the window of the bus you are travelling on. If in doubt ask the bus driver.

Why are there no black “nakedbus” buses?

18 July 2020

Some of our buses are black with the nakedbus.com logo, but nakedbus.com uses the services of several high quality private operators as well. When you book you receive an email with full details of who the operator for your trip/s is/are and a picture of the bus that will pick you up.

What will the bus look like?

nakedbus.com® buses all carry a sticker in the window by the passenger door which states they are nakedbus.com® vehicles. For photographs of some of our vehicles click here. These are examples only. Your booking confirmation will have a picture of the type of vehicle you should look out for.

Will my second/ “connecting” bus wait?

16 July 2020

This depends on whether you have booked the bus trip as a connecting trip. This is when you book a single trip between your departure point and your destination point that involves two or more buses (this will be shown on the booking search form) and don’t book two separate trips that you expect to connect.

If you have booked a connecting trip, then the reference number will have a “C” in front of it. In this case, the second bus will wait if the first bus is late.

If there is no C, then you have booked two separate trips, and there is no guarantee that the second bus will wait if your first bus arrives late. We are not able to arrange for the driver of the second bus to wait if the first bus is late. For this reason you should always book the trip as a connecting trip.

What if the bus is delayed?

16 July 2020

We will do our best to avoid delays by designing our timetables as carefully as possible taking into account known problems. At times there will be unavoidable delays due to traffic, roads being closed due to crashes etc. In these circumstances, please bear with us, and we will get you where you are going as quickly as possible.

How do I find out where my bus stop will be?

14 July 2020

Go to our bus stops page. Please wait for the form to load – it may take several seconds. Enter where you want to go from and to. In most cases a written description and map will be shown.

These maps will also be included on your booking confirmation, once you have completed a booking successfully.

Trips are much cheaper

I am thrilled to be getting trips that are much cheaper and don’t take the same route through the gorges as [competitor].
