Inspired by their love of the First Bus journey between Glastonbury and Bristol, a group of four young multi-genre DJs have named themselves ‘3SEVEN6’ after the 376 bus service, and one of them has even had the service number tattooed across his stomach.

First West of England is joining forces with Westcountry charity Operation Community Hamper (OCH) on an eight-day tour of the region aboard a special open top Christmas carol bus to create 1,000 hampers for vulnerable families struggling in the cost-of-living crisis.

First Glasgow is set to adjust the cost of selected fares, including its Two-Trip, FirstWeek and First4Week tickets, from Sunday 4th August.

The city’s largest bus operator had frozen prices across all impacted tickets for the last 16 months, but increasing inflationary pressures related to rising fuel, energy, parts, and labour costs – similar to those being faced by many transport operators - have meant it was no longer feasible to keep fares at their previous level.

An 18-year-old volunteer from Glasgow shares how Scotland’s Young Person’s Free Bus Travel scheme allows him to support people affected by cancer. 

Originally from Lagos, Nigeria, Abdulmuiz Adarangio moved to Clydebank just over a year ago and has been volunteering with Beatson Cancer Charity ever since he first spotted the charity’s yellow-wrapped bus, which was donated by First Bus last year to help raise awareness of the charity throughout the city.

First Bus is set to adjust the cost of selected fares for its Aberdeen services, including its return tickets, flexi single tickets and weekly tickets, from Sunday 22nd September.

Increasing inflationary pressures related to rising fuel, energy, parts, and operational costs – similar to those being faced by many transport operators - have meant it was no longer feasible to keep fares at their previous level.

The changes will mean the Adult 2 Single Trips in 24hrs will move from £4.70 to £4.90, and the Adult FirstWeek ticket will change from £21.00 to £24.00.

On Tuesday, 1st October, First Bus is looking to offer commuters who have been subject to newly reintroduced peak train fares a tasty treat.

From 8-10am, First Bus invites Glasgow commuters to enjoy a complimentary coffee outside Glasgow Central Station as part of its ‘Fare’s Fair’ campaign. Following the reintroduction of ScotRail’s peak fares to train tickets last week, First Bus wants to treat commuters to a free coffee to soften the impact of the change to their journey cost.
