Frequently asked questions
Where does the number 500 bus run?
17 buses are numbered 500, in Aylesbury, Swords, Reading, Dumfries, Gatwick Airport, Banbury, Fort William, Redditch, Liverpool, Oxford, Bridlington, Campbeltown and 5 more places. Each one is listed above by area, with its timetable, stops and live map.
Why are there so many different 500 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 500, and 17 of them do. The 500 in Aylesbury has no connection to the 500 in Swords: different operator, different road, different timetable.
How do I find the right 500 bus timetable?
Find your part of the country in the list above and open the 500 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 500 bus the same route in every town?
No. These are 17 unrelated services that happen to share a number, run by 17 different operators. Fares, timetables and accessibility differ on each one, so always open the specific 500 for your area.
