Impera Bus & Coach was a bus company based in Moreton, Wirral, Merseyside. It operated registered local bus services on the Wirral Peninsula (with some routes also serving Liverpool), a number of which were under contract to Merseytravel. Impera also operated school services on the Wirral and a range of private hires & excursions.

Formed in 2011, Impera expanded its network of tendered services rapidly, initially and mainly based on the north of the Wirral Peninsula.

On 24 April 2011, Impera won its first Merseytravel contract, service 203 which operated from Seacombe to Woodside Bus Station. Impera provided early morning journeys including on Sundays. In order to assist with this commitment, Impera borrowed two Alexander Dennis Enviro 300s from JPT of Middleton, with additional hired vehicles thereafter from Diamond Bus in Birmingham and a leasing company. Six months later, on 10 October 2011, Impera gained further Merseytravel contracts 107, 207 & 208, which operate from New Brighton to Moreton Town Meadow Lane (Impera operating early mornings Monday to Saturday). Impera also commenced operating the 164 and 165 from Woodside Bus Station to New Ferry Shorefields during the evening, including Sundays evenings.

On 4 April 2012, Impera began its first commercial bus service, from New Brighton to West Kirby, via Liscard Village, Wallasey Village, Leasowe Merseyrail Station, Moreton Cross, Meols Merseyrail Station and Hoylake. This was due to be operated daily every 30 minutes during the daytime. This service was numbered 39 and continued to run, albeit in a modified form. The evening service was replaced by modified 39A.
