First provide a wide range of bus networks around Devon and Cornwall. As I live in Cornwall I will refer to these services in my review.
As a general rule, the buses are dirty and fares have gone up in recent years. However, reliability has increased somewhat, and the frequency of some buses have been increased.
Another point to consider is that Cornwall seems to be the 'bus graveyard' of England, most service buses are over 20 years old, this means breakdowns are frequent- not good if you are travelling to Lands End on a 2-hourly bus, or in my case, late for an A-Level exam, as my bus broke down on the A30!
On balance, First serves rural communities well and tries to provide a good service with limited resources. Buses are also a good option for tourists, I would not recommend driving cars through the narrow streets of Mousehole/Marazion/St Ives etc during the summer!
