[edit] About the title name

The disambiguation page Metrobus shows that this Metrobus company is not the only bus company known as "Metrobus". To make it clear, I would suggest moving Metrobus (bus company) back to Metrobus (Go-Ahead Group) or renaming it to any other names, and than change the redirect created [i.e. Metrobus (bus company)] to a new disambiguation page, what do you think? 210.0.201.145 (talk) 02:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe a different name but I don't think the the "Metrobus (Go-Ahead Group)" name is a particularly good name, as it suggests it is something to do with the management of Go-Ahead, rather than a subsidiary. That is why I moved it to Metrobus (bus company), as that is what most other UK bus company articles are named if there are issues with names. That is good for a temporary measure, but I agree that something needs to be done about the other "Metrobuses". On looking more closely at the others, most are called "Metrobus (place name)", so I would suggest that this article could be moved to "Metrobus (Crawley). This name would be better than "Metrobus (Go-Ahed Group)", as the title itself indicates more about the article. I agree that the "Metrobus (bus company)" should probably redirect to the "Metrobus" disambiguation page at some point. I will leave you to think about this. -- Arriva436 (talk) 16:06, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
