I could agree with Arriva and their half-arsed website and general demeanour but must disagree regarding First.Shame the likes of Arriva and First make virtually no attempt to promote any of their services in tourist areas...
First Kernow is getting praise for their range of enhanced tourist services but to suggest that they haven't been doing so beforehand is just plain wrong. They have produced high quality timetable booklets and their roadside publicity is good, as is their social media. However, it would be wrong to simply go with the poster boys of First.. Wessex is also pretty good in terms of marketing (e.g. round Weymouth and Jurassic Coast), and so are First West of England; they have fewer touristy services but in places like Wells and Bath (plus Weston), they have spent a lot of time with Mendip Explorer, Somerset's Coaster, Discover, etc. Those are the ones I've personally experienced; I believe that First Eastern Counties have also improved their marketing in places like Great Yarmouth so virtually no attempt....?
