First Bus has officially agreed to implement the reduced fare structure for all students and pupils across Aberdeen. This outcome reflects the persistence of everyone who contributed to the campaign. We will monitor the implementation process closely to ensure the new pricing remains in effect as promised.

First Buses decided to raise the fares of student tickets from £3.20 to £3.50, that's nearly a 10% rise! We were not given any warning and have not been given any legitimate reason as to why. We think this is simply unreasonable and are lobbying for £1 single fares on buses across the whole of Aberdeen for everyone in education, this includes schools pupils, students and college and university.

We held a demonstation outside First HQ on the 12th of April. The coverage we recieved was amazing, it was great to see so many freindly faces supporting us, and so many people in their cars showing us support.

We are currently waiting for First to ge tback to us, about anything, in the meantime we are holding meetings with different bodies here in Aberdeen and the Shire, to get more support from people outside of the social networking world!
We ar ecurrently plannign out next moves too, we'll be having another open meeting shortly.

In the meantime like the facebook page for details and like minded individuals: https://www.facebook.com/saynotofirst?fref=ts

I'm an independent student, which means all the help I get is from Student Finance and with long university hours there's no time for part time work. Which means, no extra money to spare. With these rates I now walk, everyday, rain or shine. Sure it's healthy and all but it is really necessary to leave me no other option? I can't afford your buses and due to limited finances I have no choice but to walk. Thank you

Ridiculous prices. I already spend way too much on my weekly pass just to get to uni. How are we supposed to live on student loans with this happening

Walking to campus in the rain is getting old real fast. Need a fair price for us.
