Filming on buses

We don't usually allow filming on buses that are actually in service. However, outside peak commuter hours you can hire a bus that will look like the bus on the route you wish to film, complete with driver.

Bus stations and depots

You can't film in most working bus stations and depots. Some operators will allow limited filming as long as you meet the costs of providing filming supervision.
