Transport staff are hoping to raise millions for men affected by prostate cancer.
FirstGroup, including First Essex, will work with Prostate Cancer UK for three years, raising money and awareness.
The charity will advertise on First transport networks, encouraging people to campaign against the disease.
Managing director of First Essex, Adrian Jones, said: “My colleagues in Essex voted in massive numbers with many telling us they chose Prostate Cancer UK with family members they care about in mind.
“We are looking forward to starting our partnership and will be raising money and awareness locally for this important charity over the next three years.”
