In March, FlixBus handed its FlixBus Driver of the Year award to Kary-Ann McGregor, a driver with Scottish partner operator McGill’s Bus Group. Topping the driver star ratings, and achieving the best-rated service at FlixBus in the UK, Kary-Ann from Dundee took the award for her friendly and professional approach to customers. She passed her bus driving test in 2007, and began driving FlixBus coach services in 2023.

While the award came as a surprise, she says she hopes to inspire more women to find confidence, defy expectations and try out coach driving as a career. She said: “I am buzzing! I couldn’t believe it when I was told I was the top driver for FlixBus, but I hope it proves that women go out and achieve anything.”

Teams Lead for Operations at FlixBus Hayley Russell commented: “I really look forward to seeing the final results of our driver ratings and it’s been so fantastic to read the feedback and customer comments. This year I was especially pleased to see someone who is a wonderful role model to women in bus and coach, and we hope Kary-Ann’s success encourages more women into the industry.”
