Information on all bus services in York and the Yorkshire region is available on the Yorkshire Journey Planner website. Enter where you are travelling from and to and the journey planner will find the right timetable for you.

The council subsidises many early-morning, evening, bank holiday and Sunday services. We also help to keep buses moving by introducing traffic measures such as bus lanes and bus priority systems.

The following information services are available to York residents:

Using the bus in York

When the bus you want approaches your stop always indicate clearly to the driver, by a hand signal, that you need it to stop for you. This applies to all bus stops including those in the city centre.

Please try and have the right money or bus pass ready when boarding your bus. Change is usually available but havng the correct fare will help to reduce journey delays.

Please be aware that bus tickets are specific to each operator and are not transferable.
