We've done the maths so you don't have to!

The move to secondary school or college can be daunting. It's a big step and it can be an expensive one too.

We understand that changes to how school transport is funded can mean a big bill. That's why we offer discounted ticket options to help get your child to their place of education and home again without breaking the bank.

And with First Bus tickets, your child can enjoy unlimited travel across our whole network to help take the hassle out of weekend and holiday travel.

For children under 16 we offer the following discounted tickets;

First Week Child  £15.50

First 4 Week         £47.00

Tickets can be purchased on the First Bus app with the option to 'gift' the ticket to your child. Find out more about ticketing gifting here
