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.

First Bus has become the first UK bus operator to place an order with NewPower – a bold enterprise that converts diesel buses into zero-emission electric vehicles – that will help save thousands of tonnes of CO₂ annually.
NewPower was launched just weeks ago by world-leading bus manufacturer Wrightbus. It is the first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to offer a repowering service to help speed up the decarbonisation process by eradicating diesel powertrains in older fleets at a substantially lower price than purchasing a new bus.
