FirstGroup plc

We are the largest bus operator in the UK running more than 1 in 5 of all bus services and carrying 2.8 million passengers every day.

In many towns and cities where we operate, an increasing number of people are finding that is is much easier to let someone else do the driving
instead of sitting in a car in traffic. Our buses are bright and comfortable, and with the new Overground colour coded networks its simple to find your route. Guided busways and bus lanes make our buses faster and more reliable, so its quicker too. Traffic congestion continues to increase in towns and cities throughout the UK and we believe that the bus provides the most cost-effective and immediate solution.
We offer passenger and freight services in the UK. Our passenger operations include intercity (First Great Western, TransPennine Express and Hull Trains), London commuter (First Great Western Link) and First ScotRail (regional, intercity and commuter). We also operate freight services through GB Railfreight.

First operates the Croydon Tramlink network carrying approximately 20 million passengers a year on behalf of Transport for London.
In North America the Group has three operating divisions: yellow school buses (First Student), transit contracting and management services (First Transit) and vehicle maintenance and ancillary services (First Services). Headquartered in Cincinnati, the businesses operate across the US and Canada. Our fleet of 20,000 yellow school buses carry over 1 million students across every day.

Our vision is to Transform Travel - providing public transport services that are safe, reliable, high quality, personal and accessible.
