Sustainability is at the heart of our operation
First Choice understand that when buyers or specifiers are trying to procure the most reliable suppliers that meet their CSR requirements, it can be difficult to find a company that can tick all their needs. Over the years we have looked at the best ways that can help speed up the procurement process and give companies confidence when they are looking to instruct a new supplier.

Service Case Study
220,000 Miles Saved
£1 Million Increased Revenue
First Choice Bus provides exceptional bus services to our customers, including those with children. Two years ago, we worked with a school to improve the efficiency of their bus service by equipping all our drivers with training, DBS and licence checks, and using technology for parents to track the whereabouts of their children. Our team goes above and beyond to make sure our passengers have a safe, efficient, and comfortable ride.
Reducing Carbon Emissions
In 2021, a client of SchoolBusTracker saved over 220,000 miles of parent car journeys across just one school year.
​
The earth is 24,901 miles around. This means in just one year, our client has saved the equivalent miles of driving round the world over 8 times.
Increasing Catchment Area
Well located in the local area as an affordable private school, their pool of clients were located within a few mile radius and they struggled to recruit from areas slightly further afield. They had a 53 seat coach with just 6 passengers on and an operator who wasn't adapting to the school's needs.
Our Solution
Upon taking over the contract, we changed to multiple 16 seat buses to offer more flexibility. Students were picked up at fixed points with a home to school option as well. This allowed us to cater to parents needs more effectively. We built the shuttles to cover Ascot, Sunningdale, Windsor, a coach in Maidenhead, Ashford, Camberley and Burchetts Green.
Result
Over the course of a few years, the vehicles have had over 100 passengers, bringing over £1 Million a year in extra school fees.
