The annual awards ceremony returns to an in-person format for the 2022 event, with operators from across the country shortlisted in 20 different categories
The UK Bus Awards has announced its 2022 shortlist after what it said was another bumper year for entries. After a pause over the last two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, people, projects and bus operators will once again be competing for the top awards across 22 categories at an in-person presentation ceremony to be held on 15 November at Troxy in London.
The judging process included mystery travelling to asses the driver and operator finalists and face-to-face interviews with all of those shortlisted for the people awards.
Alan Millar, Chair of the UK Bus Awards, said: “This shortlist of finalists represents the skills and talents of the industry. They range from small, family-owned businesses through to the very large multinational transport groups, including several entering for the first time. It’s pleasing to see our first in-person awards ceremony since 2019 will once again recognise and reward excellence across the board to find the very best in the business.
“There will be some tough competition too. We have been challenged by the sheer strength and creativity of the entries, especially within the people categories, all of which our independent team of judges reported as outstanding. We can’t wait to bring the industry together once again to celebrate its successes, achievements, innovations, dedication and sheer brilliance.”
