'''BizkiaBusBizkaiBus''' is the name for [[Public transport bus service#Express bus service| suburban bus and coach]] services serving the [[province]] of [[BizkaiaBiscay]], [[Spain]]. It is named after the [[Basque language|Basque]] name of the province, ''Bizkaia''. The buses can be identified by their distinctive green (until 2009 yellow) [[colour schemelivery]].

The bus network is integrated in the [[Barik card]] system.

BizkaiBus is the result of the combination of several companies that offered bus travel services in the province of [[Biscay]], TCSA, CAV, PESA, Encartaciones, Euskotren, Adnor and Autobuses de Lujua. The service is funded by the authority of Biscay or Diputacion Foral and operates as many as 100 bus lines. Some of the lines are seasonal, and only operate during certain months, for example a number of summer season lines to beach areas.

Transport in and around Bilbao:

*[[Bilbobus]] (Inner-city buses in Bilbao)

*[[Metro Bilbao]] (Underground network)

*[[EuskoTran]] (Tram services)

*[[EuskoTren]] (Train services)

*[[FEVE]] (Train services)

*[[Renfe]] (Train services)

Various bus companies have steadily joined the Bizkaibus consortium over the years. The bus lines of [[EuskoTren]] joined in the year 2002, Adnor joined in 2005, and Autobuses de Lujua in 2006. Of the original companies offering bus public transport in [[Biscay]] Vigiola remains the only non-affiliated bus operator.

In 2006 the line between [[Bilbao]] and [[Castro Urdiales]] was excluded from Bizkaibus, as the line was solely funded by the Biscay local authority and the town of [[Castro Urdiales]] lies in the province of [[Cantabria]].
