Buy before you board for cheaper fares... Thanks for picking up our fares guide. We re continuing to encourage our customers to buy their s before they board the bus with our Beat the Rise campaign. Our Bristol and Bath Inner Zone day s are the latest ones where it is now cheaper to buy before you board. The easiest way to get the cheapest fares is to use our free mobile app. 1 in 5 of all s purchased are now through the app, and a recent customer survey of over 1,500 passengers showed 96% would recommend it to colleagues or friends. Our vision for First Bus in the West of England is to move towards cashless bus services like other major cities in the UK, and this is another major step to achieving it. By adopting the app, not only will passengers save money, but it speeds up boarding times. This ultimately makes for a more punctual bus service or indeed a faster journey.

Your types Single s The cost of your single is based on the route distance you travel within your chosen area. Your fare is determined by how many sections of route you travel through, as defined by the chart on page 29. This excludes flat fare zones. Flat fares A flat fare structure is in place in Bath Inner Zone and Weston-super-Mare Inner Zone. This means that wherever you travel in that zone, the price of a single journey will be the same. Day and season s If you're making more than one journey on a particular day, or are a regular traveller these s can offer you great savings. Just decide which area you want to travel in and how long you need your to last. Then once you have your you can use it as much as you like in your chosen period of time, making as many journeys as you need to.

We would advise all older children to get a (free) First Photo ID pass as proof of age.
