Citibus is the public transportation bus and paratransit system which serves Lubbock, Texas. It runs bus routes throughout the city, with the main routes converging at the Downtown Transfer Plaza, which also houses the Greyhound bus terminal. Citibus has been in continual service since 1971 when the city of Lubbock took over public transit operations. The paratransit system is called Citiaccess.

Hybrid buses
Citibus has unveiled six diesel-electric hybrid buses that will begin service on city routes. Managers hope the buses will use 60 percent of the fuel that their older, larger peers consume running customers across the city. Lubbock purchased the buses with almost $3.3 million in state and federal grant money. The smaller buses seat 23 passengers, can support full-size wheelchairs and will run on all but two city-based routes. Battery packs showed no signs of failure over the past five years in other cities, the equipment has a lifespan of seven years
