EditorFirst Bus gives Remembrance free travel for all Armed Forces, veterans and cadets
- 5,700 buses across the country providing free journeys
- Wear military uniform, badges or show driver Service ID card when boarding
- First Bus has a strong affiliation with the Armed Forces, with many veterans working for the business
All current and former members of the military and cadets need to do is show the driver their Armed Forces ID or wear their medals or uniform.
If safe to do so, First Bus drivers will be allowed to pull over at 11:00am on both days to observe the two minutes’ silence.
A spokesperson for First Bus said: “We have many colleagues who have served in the military or have friends and family connections so this is always a poignant time of the year.
“We hope free travel on our services will make it as easy as possible for as many veterans, serving personnel and cadets to attend Remembrance services and events in their region.
“The patience of customers in helping our drivers to pay their respects is much appreciated.”
