Families planning a day trip in York this summer will be able to travel on the city’s bus network all day for a reduced price of £5.50 for five people.
The All York Family ticket, which usually costs £11 a day, is the first of several fare reductions to be delivered via York’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP), which is funded by the government.
It aims to help families living in and visiting York enjoy the city’s attractions, take advantage of sustainable transport and to reduce the costs of days out over the school holidays.
The cheaper All York Family ticket will be available all summer holidays, up to Sunday 3 September.
Up to five people can travel on the ticket, including a maximum of two people aged over 16 – so two adults and three children, or one adult and four children – on any bus service which starts and ends within the City of York boundary, including Park and Ride.
Passengers can buy the ticket on board using cash or contactless payment. The ticket can be used by residents or visitors.
Cllr Pete Kilbane, executive member for economy and transport at City of York Council, said: “Buses play a crucial role in York’s sustainable transport network, offering a convenient, safe and affordable alternative to driving a car, and this fare reduction will help families reach all the excellent attractions that York has to offer.”
As well as visiting all the city centre attractions, you can catch the bus to out-of-town attractions, including:
- Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington (route 36 from York Train station)
- York Maze (route 36 from York Train station)
- Web Adventure Park (route 40 from Exhibition Square)
- Naburn Lock (route 42 between York and Selby).
