===Buses===
Leicester has two main bus stations: [[St Margaret's Bus Station|St. Margarets]] and [[Haymarket bus station, Leicester|Haymarket]], which was recommissioned in May 2016. The main bus operators for Leicester and the surrounding area are [[Arriva Fox County]], [[Centrebus]], [[First Leicester]], [[Arriva Midlands|Hinckley Bus (Part of Arriva Midlands)]], [[Kinchbus]], Leicester Bus and [[Stagecoach in Northants|Stagecoach Midlands]].

The [[Star trak real time]] system was introduced in 2000 by Leicester City Council; it allowed bus tracking and the retrieval of bus times by text message or online. The system was discontinued in 2011.

There are three permanent [[Park and Ride]] sites at Meynells Gorse (Leicester Forest East), Birstall and Enderby; buses operate every 15 mins from all sites. The park and ride services are branded as ''quicksilver shuttle'' and are contracted to Roberts' Coaches from the [[Leicester City Council|City Council]] and [[Leicestershire County Council|County Council]]; buses use a purpose-built terminal near St. Nicholas Circle.

Leicester has two circular bus services: [[Hop!]] which operates anticlockwise in the city centre via the railway station and Haymarket bus station, and the larger {{Convert|30|mi|km|abbr=off|adj=on}} long [[Orbital (bus service)|Orbital]] which operates in both directions.<ref>{{Cite web |title=greenlines |url=https://www.leicesterbuses.co.uk/greenlines |access-date=8 May 2023 |website=Leicester Buses |language=en-GB |archive-date=8 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230508180858/https://www.leicesterbuses.co.uk/greenlines |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=17 October 2022 |title=Longest electric circular bus route launches in Leicester |language=en-GB |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-63288216 |access-date=8 May 2023}}</ref>
