You can now travel from York to Leeds and back for £1

Fancy a day out in Leeds? You can now get there and back for just £1.

Cityzap, the express bus service between York and Leeds, is launching a Wednesday day return fare between the two cities for just a quid.

And if you decide to stay out late, the £1 day return tickets can be used to travel home to York on Coastliner buses.

Paul Turner, commercial director of parent company Transdev, said: “This amazing £1 Wednesday day return deal on our Cityzap ‘Sky Class’ buses is our way to encourage people to safely rediscover the attractions on our doorstep this summer – such as the great shopping, leisure attractions, museums and galleries in Leeds, or the Minster, Jorvik Viking Centre, Castle Museum and Chocolate Story plus many more in York.

“Wednesday is traditionally one of our quieter days of the week, and so we have plenty of space on our luxury double deck buses for everyone to relax and enjoy the journey.

“Customers can use our Transdev Go mobile app to see how much space there is on board their bus before travelling – and we’ll keep a close eye on how many people are travelling, and provide additional capacity where needed.”

To travel for £1, just hop on a Cityzap bus on Wednesdays and ask the driver for a £1 day return ticket.

Transdev invested £1.4 million in a fleet of five ‘Sky Class’ buses for the Cityzap service in November 2020. Each one comes with wireless and USB charging, and fast and free Wi-Fi.
