First Bus offers free travel for Armed Forces on Remembrance days

Summarised from Glasgow Times's report · Updated 29 Oct, 13:15 · Archive

First Bus is offering free travel to serving military personnel, veterans and cadets on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. Those wishing to claim the offer must show the driver an Armed Forces ID card or wear their military uniform, badges or medals.

First Bus drivers will be permitted to pull over at 11am, where it is safe to do so, to observe the two minutes' silence. The company operates a fleet of 5,700 buses across the UK and has recently joined the Heroes Network, a new initiative from the charity Help for Heroes that aims to provide specialist advice to ex-military personnel.

Rob Pymm, director of customer proposition at First Bus, said the company hoped free travel would help as many veterans, serving personnel and cadets as possible to attend Remembrance services and events in their region.
