First Bus discount

You can sign up to the First Bus Commuter Travel Club and get unlimited bus travel in your chosen zone.

Being part of the Commuter Travel Club means you can use the bus for work or leisure and pay less compared to the cheapest monthly ticket available. Your monthly subscription will be automatically taken each month by Direct Debit.

Buy a ticket

You will need to register with ECC’s Commuter Travel Club.

Once you’ve registered, you’ll need to:

  • select your employer from the drop-down menu – this will be visible at the bottom of the page after you log in
  • enter your work email address so that First can validate who you work for
  • download the First M-Ticket Mobile App to your smart phone and set up an M-Ticket account
  • purchase your discounted Commuter Travel Club ticket on the website and it will be sent direct to your phone

If you do not have a smartphone, paper tickets are available to buy by emailing ctcessex@firstbus.co.uk. You’ll need to use your work email account to verify you work for Essex County Council.
