First Bus Moving the everyday in Wessex, Dorset and South Somerset. See where the bus takes you. Part of First Bus 🚍 But, we're not stopping there.

Hello there, we're First Bus in Wessex, Dorset and South Somerset. We're your local bus service, here to get you where you need to go - and more than just A to B. Buses bring people closer by helping society go about their day and opening up new experiences. We call it Moving the Everyday, because that's what we're here to do. Across the UK, over 1.4 million journeys are made with us every single

day. Each double-decker bus can take up to 75 cars off the road, and reduce congestion and improving the air we all breathe. As one of the UK's largest bus operators and part of FirstGroup, we're making paying for travel simpler with 'Tap On, Tap Off' and working towards a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035 - creating better travel for people, communities and the environment. So, that's us in Wessex, Dorset and South Somerset. Thanks for letting us be part of your day. Got a question or need help? Visit our website - we're here to help.

Anneka on tour with First Bus 🚌

We’ve teamed up with legendary TV adventurer Anneka Rice to launch Life Begins at Bus Pass, with a nod to her classic 'Challenge Anneka' days.

This time, the challenge is to inspire the over-60s to grab their best mate, their bus pass and head out on an everyday adventure.

Anneka stopped off in Weymouth, Dorset to meet Peter and Jane in the community who are using their bus pass to bring more to their day. From surprise outings to trying something new just because they can.

That’s what moving the everyday is all about.

Life begins at bus pass 🙌

In Dorset, we know it’s often the small things that make the day.

A bus pass can turn a quick outing into something unexpected. Time with friends, a new routine or simply a reason to get out more often.

If you or someone you know is eligible for an older person’s bus pass, you can find out more here: https://bit.ly/life-begins-at-bus-pass
