First Bus has launched mobile ticketing across their whole operating area in Greater Manchester. Customers can now use their mobile phones as bus tickets!

They have done this by launching an ‘app’ (First Bus Tickets), where customers can
purchase a day, week, month and a new “Carnet” ticket.

Once purchased customers can simply show the driver the ticket on their mobile phone screens. Customers no longer need to purchase a ticket from the driver.

The new “Carnet” ticket at £18 for 10 adult single trips is perfect for anyone who catches the bus now and again. All customers need to do is activate one of their trips just before they travel.
