Travel by Bus
Buses provide an essential lifeline service to Shetland’s many rural communities. For many this area of public transport provides the necessary access to work, healthcare and leisure activities. In addition to this the bus network provides tourists with greater opportunities to explore the many attractions throughout Shetland’s countryside.
The bus service is provided by ZetTrans and operated by a number of different local bus service operators. It is acknowledged that buses must be effective in providing for a number of different needs beyond those of daily commuters. With this in mind ZetTrans is committed to ensuring there is a regular and affordable service that also aims to be better integrated with other transport services such as ferries and air services.
