    Although First's service has improved slightly in the year or so I have had to use them regularly, they are still quite bad. Fares are pretty high, e.g. £3.70 for a 2-trip ticket in this area at the moment - I'm lucky to have been able to buy a discounted 3-month pass from my college. The buse ...

    First buses are overall pretty good it's what you get for a few quid here and there.

    Newer buses on more pleasant routes are quite clean, most though are pretty dirty, most drivers are grumpy and hardly speak when your asking for your fare.

    Quite good value for money bit of a rip off on some route ...

    first group bus in the borders is a good service and value for money some of the buses however are a bit antiquated and could do with being up graded and the drivers should be payed the same as dalkeith and not less as they have more responsibilty handaling cash

    Timetables are the real problem. Only good thing about them is that every single stop has a unique set of timetables made specifically for that stop (timewise), pretty common thing though.But lot of services come infrequent. Now, it would be understandable, one can always complain about something li ...

    If you like being treated like you're a criminal and bullied by the bus driver, this service is the one for you! I'd rather pay a little more for a taxi, at least the drivers are on time and polite!

    A bus service that is supposed to run every 15 minutes either doesn't show at all or is very late. I am specifically talking about the 54 bus in particular. Yesterday night at 5.10pm I waited for a bus that turned up at 5.38pm.
    I also found the driver to be unpleasant.

    I got a First annual pass, and I will never do so again - when it expires, I plan to buy a bicycle. I've found the 26/27 and 21/22 routes particularly unreliable, with roughly 30% odds that I will end up forced to walk no matter how hard I try to catch the evening buses. A few kindly drivers cannot ...

    The First Bus service in Bristol is appalling, I reguarly have to wait up to 40 mins for a service that is supposed to run every 12-15 minutes. When the busses do arrive they are often overcrowded, old and dirty, and we have to pay over £4 for a day ticket for the privilege! Most of the driver ...

    I'm a commuter on First Bus in Bristol and it's amazing how similar my story is to the other reviews on here (apart from the one written by the MD of First Bus or whoever he is!).

    What makes it even more surprising is that First regularly say that the reason the service is poor is because Bristol ...
