When it comes to being more than a Bus company,
we're First.

At First Bus, we're changing the game in public transport – starting with our people.

Our new driver training programme takes places across 13 months, supporting you during the first year in your new role. Training is delivered by industry experts and our specialist training partners in a variety of interactive sessions. Including customer service skills, incident management, safeguarding and much more!
