First Student UK was the brand used by FirstGroup for student transport in the United Kingdom. The brand was originally used by First Student in the United States for school transport there, and was expanded to the United Kingdom in 2000.[2] First Student UK was one of the first companies to introduce[clarification needed] school buses in Britain, usually painted school bus yellow to distinguish them from conventional buses.
