First Bus app
To help you feel confident about travelling by bus, First Bus have launched a new feature on their app to show where your bus is, how many seats are available, and to enable you to book your seat. The app displays in real time how many empty seats there are on each bus, to help you to confidently plan your journey. Watch this YouTube video showing you how to use the First Bus App.
