This paper presents the influences of driving style on bus fuel consumption. The study conducted was based on real data collected in Southampton UK using two research buses. This study has confirmed that the aggressive driving consumed significantly higher fuel consumption than economic and normal driving. It was estimated that, driving shifting from aggressive toward economic style can reduce approximately 16.86 l diesel fuel consumption and save about GBP 25.46 daily for a single bus.
