School services
Back to school? Let's get there together!
We have some new features available to help you on your journey:
- Live capacity tracking on the First Bus App - track where your bus is, how far it is from your stop, and how many seats are free. You can download our app here!
- Space Checker on our website here - check your service for the busiest and quietest times to travel, so you can choose the best time to suit you.
Ready to get on board? Plan your school journey here, or view our public services timetables here.
For information on our school tickets, please see our Young Person Under 19 page here.
Here’s a guide for when you get on board:
Wearing masks
At First Bus, the health, safety and comfort of our colleagues and customers are always front and centre. In England, Government guidelines suggest the ongoing use of face coverings in crowded places where you come into contact with people you don’t normally meet.
Customers may therefore choose to continue to wear a face covering on board our buses, especially when services are busy. We encourage everyone to respect their fellow passengers and look out for one another.
Ventilation & Cleaning
Together with practical measures such as enhanced cleaning, we will continue to ensure all windows are left open for additional ventilation.
Social distancing
In England, all seats are in use to make sure we can take you to where you need to go.
Paying for your journey
Where possible avoid the use of cash and continue to use contactless on board or buy in advance using the First Bus App.
We have introduced a range of new fares and tickets to suit the changing needs of our customers. More information can be found on our website here.
