A local bus firm has launched a new saving scheme on fares for young people.
Young people in North Yorkshire can now make any single journey on Transdev’s buses in North Yorkshire for only £1.
The money-saving deal is now in place as the bus firm teams up with North Yorkshire Council to offer under 19s cut-price travel anytime, anywhere in the county served by its buses – from Skipton in the west to Scarborough in the east.
It’s hoped the new discount will help make travel more affordable and accessible for young people, many of whom are unable to afford the cost of driving lessons or running and insuring a car.
Transdev’s Commercial Director Paul Turner said:
“The new £1 fares apply to any one-way journey on our buses which is wholly within North Yorkshire – for example, Grassington to Skipton, Ripon to Harrogate or Malton to Pickering – and also to journeys between North Yorkshire and the City of York.
“Young people can buy their £1 tickets in the usual way from our drivers, using cash or contactless payment. Dedicated school buses aren’t included, but every other route on our networks in North Yorkshire and York itself are part of this scheme.
“We hope this low fare will help young people to get out and about by bus this Autumn and enjoy all that North Yorkshire and York have to offer.”
Transdev bus operators and North Yorkshire destinations available with the £1 fare scheme for young people include:
- Coastliner – serving Scarborough, Whitby, Pickering, Malton and Tadcaster
- The Harrogate Bus Company – in Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon and Pateley Bridge
- The Keighley Bus Company – travel in the Skipton and Grassington areas
Full details of all routes and times are available online at transdevbus.co.uk, or on the free to download ‘Transdev Go’ mobile app.
