"Buses and Trains" is the debut single of Australian pop duo Bachelor Girl. Released on 18 June 1998 as the first single from their debut album, Waiting for the Day (1998), the song peaked at number four on the ARIA Singles Chart and remains the duo's highest-charting single. It was also a hit in New Zealand, where it reached number six and earned a Gold certification. Outside Australia, "Buses and Trains" reached number 29 in Sweden, number 35 in Iceland, and number 65 in the United Kingdom.
The video features Tania recording a snapshot of her life to send to her mother. The entire video is viewed from the TV's point of perception, with Tania doing various things correlating with the lyrics in the song as she sings. The view occasionally turns the side where James Roche can be seen playing an instrument. It ends with Tania ejecting the tape and writing 'Mum, For You' on an envelope before slipping the tape inside.
