Frequently asked questions

Why are there so many different 16 buses?

Route numbers in the UK are chosen locally — by the operator, or by the local transport authority that tenders the service — not from any national list. Nothing stops two towns hundreds of miles apart both running a 16, and 57 of them do. The 16 in Nottingham has no connection to the 16 in Leicester: different operator, different road, different timetable.

How do I find the right 16 bus timetable?

Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 16 that starts or finishes near you — each one links to its full timetable, every stop, a live map and its fares. If you know the stop you'll be waiting at, searching for the stop name instead gives you the next departures from that exact stop, which is more reliable than any timetable.

Is the 16 bus the same route in every town?

No. These are 57 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 48 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 16 for your area.
