First West of England has a vision to be the smartest way to go around the region by providing affordable, convenient, accessible and sustainable public transport. We’re doing this by being at the forefront of developing and implementing smart bus travel services across the region including mobile ticketing, contactless payment, online journey planning and the introduction of the greenest and cleanest vehicles in the country to enhance air quality. We’re pioneering new solutions such as MYFIRSTMILE, an all in one cab and bus service, which is being trialled in Bristol initially to change how the population commute from their homes to their workplaces. We are also a major operator of the new £230m Metrobus rapid transit system, which will revolutionise public transport in the Bristol city region with faster journeys and a much higher standard in passenger experience. These developments mean we can fulfil our purpose of helping our communities live their lives every day. Whether it be shoppers to shops, fans to football, schoolchildren to school, students to study or workers to work.
