Have you seen a megabus coach on your travels? Have you ever been on one of our coaches in the UK, USA or Canada? Did you know that a brand new coach can cost more than £300k to buy?

You probably won’t know that at megabus, we’re obsessed with making coach travel cool again (#makecoachtravelcoolagain). So much so, that we now have sightseeing buses in London, our customers can reserve seats on board and we found time to give our coaches names, like Al Bus Dumbledore, Mega ‘n’ Harry and Basil Bus. Yes, really. It’s true.

If you are interested in joining a friendly team, enjoy understanding numbers, trends and trying to work out how much intercity travel is worth, we are the team for you! You’ll get to work across a wide variety of activities looking after specific routes, maximising passenger numbers and revenue. The role involves a lot of responsibility; you will have a direct impact on what customers see on our website when searching for our services, so you’ll need to be interested in what’s going on in the outside world that can affect the demand for travel, like where and when there are festivals, sporting events and holidays.

We are proud to work with charities and to promote a mode of travel that is incredibly sustainable compared to other modes.

The quality of the service we provide has improved beyond recognition since we started out just 16 years ago, yet we’re still seriously good value.

If you choose to apply to join us on a part-time, permanent basis you’ll be based at our megabus Head Office in Rugby, almost next door to the train station.
