Happy 30th Birthday to Us!
Turning 30 this June? Here’s a little birthday treat from First Bus
First Bus is celebrating a milestone birthday this year – the big 3-0 – and we’re celebrating our three decades of service with our passengers, with free single bus tickets across the UK to anyone turning 30 this June.
Whether you’re going out to dinner with your family and friends, or grabbing a takeaway for a quiet night in, there’s no wrong way to toast your 30th birthday. And if it’s this month, what better way to get there than with a free bus journey!
If you’re quick enough, your birthday ticket will drop straight into your First Bus app. They’re only available through the app, so make sure you’ve got it downloaded and ready to go.
A limited number of free tickets will be up from grabs from 13th June on a first-come, first-served basis. Want to bag one? Just fill in your details below.
To help us celebrate, we invited a very special guest to come and celebrate with us in Aberdeen, the birthplace of First Bus. More commonly known for his love of trains, we welcomed Francis Bourgeois to our Aberdeen depot and HQ, introduced him to the exciting world of buses, and unlocked his not-so secret enthusiasm for all things bus.
Francis delved into the history of First Bus and in this video, helped us tell the story of how we’ve transformed over the last three decades, and taken our people and passengers on the journey with us.
Meet the People of First Bus
We couldn’t let 30 years pass us by without saying thanks to everyone who has worked for us, past and present. Below you’ll find just some of the inspirational stories of the people who work on the front line and behind the scenes. We’re sharing stories of growth, loyalty and unwavering community spirit – values that we are extremely proud of at First Bus.
