We are the largest bus operator in the UK running more than 1 in 5 of all local bus services and carrying 2.9 million passengers every day in more than 40 major towns and cities.
In rail we operate services for both passengers and freight in the UK. Our passenger operations include regional, intercity and commuter services - First Great Western, First ScotRail, First Capital Connect, TransPennine Express and Hull Trains.
First operates the Croydon Tramlink network carrying approximately 24 million passengers a year on behalf of Transport for London.
North America
In North America the Group has four operating divisions: yellow school buses (First Student), transit contracting and management services (First Transit) and vehicle maintenance and ancillary services (First Services) as well as Greyhound, provider of scheduled inter-city bus services. Headquartered in Cincinnati, the businesses operate across the US and Canada.
Our vision is to Transform Travel - providing public transport services that are safe, reliable, high quality, personal and accessible.
By working in partnership with local authorities and the communities we serve, we run fast, frequent, reliable services that will encourage people to use public transport. We are investing in real time information systems and making our fares easy to understand.
We believe that public transport should be a partnership between the passenger, the community and the operator. We firmly believe that everyone should have a voice in how our services are developed.
