What about my single ticket - how long does this last for?

The validity of single tickets varies across each First Bus region. For the most part, single tickets will remain valid for 15 minutes once activated. The app will remind you of this before activating the ticket, to avoid any mis activation.

We advise customers to only activate a ticket when ready to use it.

If the ticket expires after already being scanned, but while you are still on the bus, this is not a problem. The ticket is valid for the entirety of that single trip, and you do not need to purchase another ticket while on the bus.
