flag Oxford Bus Company’s profits plunged 97% due to major green investments, despite service growth and rising ridership.

flag Oxford Bus Company’s profits fell 97% to £57,000 in the year ending 2024, mainly due to £31 million in investments for 159 new electric buses and infrastructure as part of a larger £82.5 million green initiative with Oxfordshire County Council and Stagecoach. flag The project, aiming for net-zero emissions by 2045, was funded in part by £32.8 million from the government and £6 million from the council. flag The company added 60 staff, reaching 558 employees, and acquired Pearces Coaches. flag Revenue dropped from £62 million to £48.2 million, partly due to a longer prior period. flag Despite the financial dip, service expansions, including airport links and university routes, and recovering passenger numbers were noted.
