Last updated 4th Sep 2020
Bus services to and from York are going to increase from this weekend (5th and 6th of September).
North Yorkshire bus operators Coastliner, Cityzap and The Harrogate Bus Company say it's to ensure everyone can continue to travel safely.
The operators are using the Transdev mobile phone app, which will allow commuters to track every service throughout its route and show how much capacity there is on every bus at any point in the journey.
General Manager Ben Mansfield said: “With increased and thorough cleaning of each bus, clear safety guidance on board and a warm welcome from our amazing team, the time is right to welcome more of our customers back to the bus.
“We’re ready to help people travelling back to work, back to the shops, back to leisure and back to education, while also reducing traffic congestion and air pollution in our local towns and cities. It’s time to come back to the bus.”
