First Bus passengers can still buy tickets through app as 'tap on tap-off' introduced

First Bus passengers will still be able to purchase tickets through the app despite the introduction of the 'tap on, tap off' scheme. The company has also said customers can also continue to purchase tickets on board the bus.

The new payment system - which came into effect on Sunday (July 17) - means passengers can tap their cards onto the card readers when they board and leave the bus. The change only applies to adult customers and caps prices at £5 per day.

Some passengers were left wondering if the changes meant they could still use old methods of payment, such as purchasing tickets through the app or when boarding the bus. First Bus confirmed on Twitter that these means of payment would still be accepted on their services.
