Welcome to the Bio Bus website!

Yes, the rumours are true, Stagecoach West Scotland have buses which run on 100% recycled cooking oil which local residents can help collect!

This groundbreaking environmental initiative saw the conversion of 8 fully accessible, single deck buses from standard Diesel to 100% waste-derived biofuel. Residents on the route were given containers to collect their used cooking oil which could then be exchanged for discounted bus tickets!

The BioBus operates on Service 1 between Stewarton and Darvel via the bustling town of Kilmarnock.
In the first 18 months, this project realised significant environmental benefits by reducing carbon emissions by up to 1440 tonnes.

For more information and pictures take a look around this website. You can even request a container to recycle your own cooking oil!
Do your part, be "Bio smart".
