First Bus has launched the first phase of its smart card programme. Instead of paper tickets, passengers will be able to use a Touch Card to store up to three FirstWeek or two FirstMonth bus tickets.
The Touch Card, which is free from First’s travel shops or by ordering online, will be available to adults using FirstWeek or FirstMonth inner or outer zone tickets in Bristol. In the coming months use will be expanded to include other passenger groups in the region. To enable users to track what tickets they have stored on their cards and track usage, Touch Card users are given access to their own account via the website: www.touch-card.co.uk.
Further developments are planned including allowing customers to top up their cards online.
First is also working with the West of England Bus Operations Association and local authorities to enable passengers to use their Touch Card on all bus operators.
To order your Touch Card online go to: www.touch-card.co.uk
