Multi-Operator Tickets

Here at First Manchester, we have a comprehensive network of bus services connecting several towns and villages across Greater Manchester.

You can save money if you travel just with First Manchester buses, but we know it isn't always possible to complete your whole journey with us - we know that sometimes you need to travel that bit further.

If you need to travel with more than one public transport operator, we've listed below some great ways to save money on your journey.
