Buses was published as Buses Illustrated from 1949 until 1968. The current editor is Alan Millar, based in Scotland. It also produces a yearbook, published in August every year for the next year. Buses is published monthly on the third Friday of each month.

A sister magazine, Buses Focus, featured more in-depth articles, although this dual format was dropped after a rationalisation of the bus industry and for publishing cost reasons, in favour of larger main magazine issues.
