UniversityBus was set up by the University of Hertfordshire in 1992 to provide student transport to the expanding university from local areas as well as improving east-west travel across the county and opening up new links from North London.

A firm commitment to the future was shown with the opening of a purpose-built depot in 2003. And in 2004 the company introduced faster express routes to help make the bus a more attractive option for existing car drivers. Uno will continue to be a member of the Intalink partnership. This brings together Hertfordshire County Council, District Councils and the county's bus operators to promote a high quality passenger transport network for the entire county.
