First Bus FAQ

Is First Bus legit?
🤔 The First Bus app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Needed a ticket from Glasgow central to airport, first it was difficult to find out how much the trip costs, has to download app and was not able to buy a ticket for my trip. Wasted about 20 minutes and ended up booking an Uber…
Useless
If I could give 0 stars I would, the real time function practically useless and shows services still running even when they’ve been cancelled
Review
I love it.
Terrible
Nothing matches the timetables. No bus ever runs on time. The app is completely pointless
App always crashes when opening chat
Too many issues with this app. Appalling. Chat agent also not cooperative when chat finally managed to open.
Does not accurate with bus timing or departure time
If it worked it might be good
The real time tracking showed my bus to be 7 mins away 6…5…4…3…2…1 then due, then after another 5 mins disappeared from the app, waited another 10 mins just in case, nothing. Gave up and started walking back to the office, you can imagine what happened then the bus goes zooming past.
So, what is the point of an app with real time tracking if it doesn’t work!!!!
Class
Sometimes it’s inaccurate but still class
Crash
Issues with specific stops not being able to retrieve data not appear to be resolved however now the app crashes roughly every couple of minutes of use.
If it’s not one issue, it’s another..
Keep buses
It’s brilliant to know local buses times and places they go,I think a lot of people would be surprised.
