North Yorkshire County Council, GB enhances public transit options with YorBus on-demand pilot

North Yorkshire County Council, GB YorBus On-Demand Transit

In Progress

Accessible YorBus shuttles operate Monday through Saturday in a service area between Ripon and Bedale. Commuters use a Via-powered mobile app to book trips between virtual bus stops and track vehicle locations. Each YorBus ride costs £1.20 with reduced rates for children. Council officials expanded the virtual stop map in the pilot's early months based on rider surveys and trip data.
