First Bus is one of the UK’s largest bus operators. From as far north as Aberdeen to as far south as Cornwall, the local First Bus company is connecting your community; helping people get to work, to education, attend appointments, go shopping or just go out for fun.  
Making journeys easier for customers, they were the first national bus operator to accept contactless card payments across all of services and the First Bus App is voted ‘best in class’ amongst UK bus operators. Their most recent investments are in new, state-of-the-art buses across key networks. They work proactively with local authority partners, making a positive impact on air quality, tackling congestion and improving customer experience. They are focused on First Bus becoming a leader in the transition to a low-carbon future and are committed to operating a zero-emission bus fleet by 2035; they pledged not to purchase any new diesel buses after December 2022.
They are trying hard to design bus routes and schedules that meet local customers’ needs and do everything possible to run those services on time. Drivers are trained to drive safely and responsibly, continually reinforcing respect for other road users among the workforce.  Drivers are expected to be polite, friendly and helpful. Their driver training emphasises safety and customer service, including keeping themselves, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers safe.
