15Yellow Buses[1] is a bus operator based in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England. It is a subsidiary of the RATP Group.
Origins
Yellow Buses traces its origins to July 1902, when Bournemouth Corporation began operating trams. Bus services commenced in 1906 to act as feeders to the tram system. In 1930 more bus services were started away from the tram system, to serve Kinson and Holdenhurst when those areas were added to the borough of Bournemouth.
In 1933 the corporation began to operate trolleybuses, and by 1936 replaced all the trams with trolleybuses. The trolleybuses were replaced by buses between 1963 and 1969.[2]
Bournemouth Transport
With the passing of the Transport Act 1985 and subsequent deregulation of bus services, Yellow Buses was incorporated.[1] Unlike most other municipal owned operators, ownership was retained by Bournemouth Borough Council. In 2005 with a perceived need to modernise the fleet and a realisation that full privatisation would better equip the operator to overcome the increasing competition it was facing from Wilts & Dorset, the council offered the company for sale.[3]
Transdev

In December 2005 Bournemouth Borough Council sold Yellow Buses to Transdev. The Council retained a 10% shareholding.[4] The operation was rebranded as Transdev Yellow Buses.
Transdev then decided to make its mark on Yellow Buses by giving the entire network a complete overhaul. This became the Big Network Change of 2 July 2006, where each bus, each journey, and each route (even route numbers) was changed. To make sure that the public were made aware of these changes, Transdev Yellow Buses held road shows across Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch to publicise its new network, livery, branding and new fare structure. Transdev subsequently made slight changes to the network with funding from Bournemouth Borough Council, including the introduction of routes 37 and 38, the extension of Route 41 at both ends to Boscombe Pier and to Throop Church, and the re-introduction of Route 24 to Bournemouth and to bring back the route in the evenings and on Sundays between the Rail Station and Alum Chine. Also, for the first time in recent years, Transdev Yellow Buses decided not to run services on New Year's Day 2007 except route 747, which ran a normal Monday service.
A revised timetable was introduced on Sunday 22 July 2007, and Monday 29 October 2007 saw TYB take over the operation of routes 18 and 19 from Wilts & Dorset, combining them to make new route 18 between Broadstone and Bournemouth. Unlike the old Wilts & Dorset route, there is no service between Broadstone and Corfe Mullen, and no Sunday or evening buses. During the later part of 2007, TYB lost the airport bus contract to Discover Dorset (who renumbered it back to the A1).
Transdev Yellow Buses invested in a Real Time & Next Stop display system. Screens were put in most of the low-floor fleet and the system was in operation from end of April 2008.
In May 2008, new route 39 was started, with the help of Bournemouth Borough Council, when a timetable change saw Littledown/Harewood Estates with no service. This is an hourly service running between Bournemouth Hospital and Bournemouth via Boscombe.
Another revision to the timetable took place on 3 May 2009, with various improvements on routes 1 and 3 and many timing changes. Sunday 24 May saw the start of a brand new hourly route 21 service, taking over from the Wilts & Dorset route X12 Bournemouth to Burton service and part of the C1 (the other part along with the C2 being run by Shamrock Buses).
On 27 September 2009 a new winter timetable started with changes to routes 1, 6, and 25, and the merging of routes 37 and 38 to make new route 36.
In April 2010 services were expanded into East Dorset with the launch of an hourly route 29 between Bournemouth, Winton, Ferndown and West Moors.[5]
In May 2010 three new services started, these being the 20,[6] 27[7] (both on 4 May) and 40 (29 May). Route 20, which was a merge of routes 53 (operated by Wilts & Dorset) and 42 (operated by Shamrock Buses), ran between Poole and Castlepoint via Lilliput, Penn Hill, Square (Bourne Avenue), Winton and West Way. Route 27 ran between Kinson and Poole via Bear Wood and Alderney and was a commercial replacement for Wilts & Dorset's route 11 (although W&D still run the service as normal on Sundays and run a service between Poole and Bear Wood on Mondays to Fridays). Route 27 ran hourly Monday to Saturday. Route 40 ran between Christchurch Civic Offices and Bournemouth Square/Pier. This was a partial replacement to the old route 12 service, although it was run with single-deck buses and not open-top double-deckers. It ran via Tuckton Bridge, Hengistbury Head and Boscombe Pier.
