Jason’s story and why he loves the bus:
“First Bus is focused on becoming a leader in the transition to a low-carbon future and has recently announced its commitment to operating a zero-emission bus fleet by 2035. Bus is part of the emissions & congestion solution and not the problem. Whilst living our vision & values; we provide easy and convenient mobility, improving quality of life by connecting people
and communities.”
A brilliant bus story…
“I had an old Leyland national bus and business – Starlitez which I use to bring the venue to you by ways of discos and parties. As you can imagine this brought a lot of fun but also worked with schools to raise the awareness of anti-social behaviour.”
