Young Person (16-21) & Students
Young people (16-21) and students (of any age if in full time education) can get up to 10% discount on all tickets across the West of England (Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare & Wells). Young people (16-21) and student tickets can only be purchased on the First Bus app.
Students can show any form of valid photo Student ID to get the discount and no longer need a First Photo ID. Examples of ID that can be used are valid NUS Cards, University ID cards or International Student ID cards. Valid ID must be shown on every journey. If none can be produced at the time of travel, then the ordinary adult single fare must be paid.
Young people (16-21, excluding students) will need a First Photo ID pass. These are free of charge and valid for one year from the date of issue. The pass must be shown to the driver on every journey. If no Photo ID pass can be produced at the time of travel, then the ordinary adult fare must be paid. Please be aware, we have Revenue Protection Officers who regularly ride our bus network in the West of England to ensure passengers have the correct tickets/passes. For more information, click here.
To get a photo ID just visit a First travel shop with a passport photo, proof of age or student status or use the form below.
Tickets are only available on the First Bus App, just visit your app store and you can buy your ticket in advance and validate it when you want to make your first journey. For more information on mTickets, click here.
