Discover the joy of free bus travel

Free travel with a bus pass can mean more than getting from A to B. It’s easier than ever to get out and about with First Bus.

A catch-up that turns into something more. A day out that starts with a good idea and a free seat. If you're eligible, free travel means more time for the things that matter.

It’s about moving the everyday. Doing more of what you enjoy, whenever it suits you.
