On the Buses is a 1971 British comedy film directed by Harry Booth and starring Reg Varney, Doris Hare, Michael Robbins, Anna Karen, Stephen Lewis and Bob Grant.

His concerns become justified when the company decides to revoke a long-standing rule that prevents women from being employed as bus drivers, much to the chagrin of both Stan and his long-time colleague and friend, Jack.

Following a disastrous start, she and her husband, Arthur, soon discover that she is pregnant, resulting in her losing her job and forcing the Butler family to send back the items they cannot afford to pay for.

The pair decide that the best way to prevent this from happening is to sabotage the company's new employment scheme by making the women drivers look bad, and initially pull off small pranks.

As Olive's pregnancy draws closer to term, Arthur requests Stan's help in fixing the springs on his motorcycle's sidecar to prepare it for the trip to the hospital.

While bringing the springs into the depot to get them fixed, amongst a few small things for the new baby, he and Jack discover that the company recently ordered a number of diversion signs to be made to divert buses away from roadworks in the town.

Meanwhile, Stan and Jack are delighted to learn their sabotage efforts were a success when the company announces its decision to no longer employ women bus drivers.

Although the pair are not happy about this and intend to quit their jobs, Stan soon sees a silver lining to their situation when he is twinned with Sandra, a new attractive female clippie for his route.

The attitudes informing the script – of idiot sexuality and rabid anti-feminism – are unpleasant in the extreme, with all the women drivers depicted as stupid cows of the butch Lesbian school, for no reason other than their take-over of men's work.
