DalesBus is a registered brand of a network of weekend bus services operated by the Dales & Bowland Community Interest Company^[1] which is a subsidiary of the Yorkshire Dales Society.^[2] Many are seasonal but some run all year round. Most are operated by low floor easy access vehicles. The services are provided by a number of operators linking major centres of population with the Yorkshire Dales to allow for walking or enjoyment without the need for a car. Each weekend there are a selection of connecting walks run by the Dalesbus Ramblers.

The service is funded by West Yorkshire Metro, DITA, The Yorkshire Dales National Park Sustainable Development Fund, The National Trust, and Sovereign Health Care Trust. Support is also offered with funding from The Friends of DalesBus, Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line, the Yorkshire Dales Society, Forest of Bowland AONB, The Thompson Trust and Boston Spa Parish Council. These popular services carry increasing numbers of passengers, nearly 50,000 per year.
