Who else thinks First Bus fares are expensive?
First is Britain’s largest bus company; they must make a profit and have invested hugely in new buses over the past few years. Their fare levels will vary greatly around the country according to whether the route you are travelling on is urban or rural, and in the case of rural services that rarely make a profit, how much if any subsidy is paid by the county council. The introduction of the universal free pass for the over 60s has increased costs of late.
