This follows recent measures taken to reduce the capacity of each bus by over 75 per cent, with clear seat markings in place to guide customers where to sit, and the launch of innovative functionality added to First’s mobile App – allowing customers to not only live track the location of their next bus, but also to see how many seats are available on it.
