The Association of British Commuters (ABC) is a UK passenger lobby group for people who commute.{{cite web | url = http://www.passengertransport.co.uk/2016/09/a-new-breed-of-public-transport-campaigner/ | date = 2 September 2016 | accessdate = 15 November 2016 | publisher = Passenger Transport | title = A new breed of public transport campaigner?}} It was formed in September 2016 by a group of passengers, disaffected by Govia Thameslink Railway's service on the Southern routes of the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern franchise, after months of delays, cancellations, overcrowded conditions, and strikes.{{cite news | url = https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/oct/04/southern-rail-commuters-legal-action-department-for-transport-rmt-association-british | date = 4 October 2016 | accessdate = 15 November 2016 | first = Alice | last = Ross | newspaper = The Guardian | location = London | title = Southern rail commuters to launch legal action against DfT}}

In 2016, lawyers for ABC launched legal action against the UK Department for Transport for decisions made by the government in their handling of Govia's train service. The Department for Transport refused to release documents relating to Southern's franchise agreement, including information about a remedial plan agreed with Govia in February 2016.

Stephen Joseph, executive director of Campaign for Better Transport, believes that ABC represents "a new type of passenger lobby group organised by young professionals who are adept at using social media."
