MASS Engineering and Brightbus (officially MAS Special Engineering) is a bus operator currently based at North Anston between Sheffield and Worksop.

They operate only on school service work having ceased to operate general service work in 2007. The company runs a large fleet of ex-London Leyland Titans and ex-Hong Kong tri-axle buses, Optare Spectras and a couple of Dennis Tridents. They are one of the largest dedicated school bus operators in the UK and have been at the forefront of several significant initiatives to improve behaviour on school services. They carry around five thousand school children twice a day on a mixture of contracted and commercial work.

The Hong Kong vehicles are unusual in that they are officially the largest seated 'rigid' (i.e. none-bendi) buses in the Western World carrying upto 126 seats on the largest 12m Dennis Dragons. The company imported the vehicles during 2003 and went through a lengthy process involving in-house tilt test work to gain Certification for three types of vehicle: 12m Leyland Olympian/Alexander and both 12m and 11m Dennis Dragon/Duple MetSec.
