Thousands of us rely on them day to day to commute to work, do our shopping or visit loved ones - but "life on the buses" in Merseyside has changed a lot compared to previous generations.
Many will remember the days of getting on from the back of the bus, or getting used to paying with decimal coins in the early 1970s. Blue and cream buses were also a familiar sight down our busy streets and passengers didn't have mobiles or headphones to keep them entertained on their journeys.
James Kewley, known as Jimmy, is based at the Birkenhead depot on Laird Street and has been working on the buses for nearly 57 years. Now 74 and working part time, Jimmy, from Rock Ferry, began his long career as a conductor in his late teens before moving to work as a driver.
