Why chhose the bus?

There's never been a better time to get on a First bus.

  • Our improved high frequency service means you won't be kept waiting on key routes – and you can forget about the rising costs of petrol and parking.
  • There's a great range of money saving daily, weekly and monthly tickets to choose from.
  • On our clean, comfy seats you can read, relax, or do the crossword, well away from impolite drivers and traffic jams.
  • You can even stop for a drink with friends on the way home.
  • And, of course, travelling by bus is good for the planet too.
