FREE Bus Travel for Armed Forces Weekend

Armed Forces Day

We are delighted to offer FREE bus travel on Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th June to celebrate and support Armed Forces Day.

We want to show our appreciation to the Armed Forces community, serving troops, veterans and cadets by providing free travel across our Essex bus network.

Current and former members of the military can travel for free if they are:

  • Members of the Armed Forces in uniform or wearing medals.
  • Members of the Armed Forces who present a valid identification card.
  • Members of the Cadet Forces in uniform.
  • A veteran displaying valid identification such as the MOD-issued Veteran’s Badge or wearing medals.

We hope the free travel will help those attending the many commemorative events across Essex to show their support to the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community.

If you're a serving troop, veteran or cadet, come and enjoy free travel with First Bus!
