Urban busses have to assure transport of thousands/tens of thousands/ hundreds of thousands passengers, on short distances and in extreme working conditions that stress the transmission. The multitude and diversity of buses that are used in public transportation in the cities of Romania, the structure of available fleets, the different road categories that are used for public transportation and the way that public transport is organised – are all factors that influence different faults of urban busses gearbox. In these conditions, reliability and durability of transmission composing elements are affected considerably. This paper is the result of a study that highlights the gearbox faults that appeared in the urban busses of one of Romania’s important public transport company. The data analysed in this study has been collected from the order vouchers prepared in the workshop, containing information about the supposed fault that caused the bus to be called for repairs and the actual faults that needed intervention by the personnel, the last ones being considered as faults and noted as such.
