History
Opened	1958 (Original Station) 2006 (Current Station)

Before 1958 Bristol had no bus station; most country and long-distance coach services departed from Prince Street, and others used street stops in the Centre, Canon's Road and Old Market.[2]

The station is managed by First West of England.[3] There are 19 bays, Bays 1 to 7 are for National Express long-distance coach services. Bay 8 is usually home to the A1 Airport Flyer service to Bristol Airport however, the A1 is currently suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bays 9 to 19 are for other local bus services to locations outside of Bristol operated by First West of England, Abus, and Bristol Community Transport.

Social distancing measures are currently in place with local services dropping off at Bond Street, Lewins Mead, or Stokes Croft. Services are also operating to a revised timetable.

Bristol Bus and Coach Station has many facilities including a First Bus Travelhub which offers information and ticket sales for First Bus services, a National Express Ticket Sales and Information Desk, National Express ticket machines, The Coffee Room cafe, 24-hour security and public toilets including an accessible toilet.
