Families planning a day trip in York this Easter will be able to travel on the city’s bus network all day for just £5.50 for five people – just £1.10 each – using an All York Family Ticket.
The offer was previously available for a trial period during summer 2023, with more than 36,000 families taking advantage of the discount.
The ticket, which usually costs £9.60 per day, is one of several fare reductions currently available as part of York’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP), which is funded by Government. It will 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 whole of spring and summer 2024.
The All York Family ticket will be available from Saturday 23 March until Sunday 1 September. It allows up to two adults and three children to travel on all of York’s operators, on any bus journey which starts and ends within the City of York boundary, including the Park and Ride (but excluding tour operators).
Passengers can simply buy the ticket on board using cash or contactless payment. The ticket can be used by residents of York or those visiting from home and abroad.
Other offers currently available include:
- A £1 single fare for unaccompanied 5-18 year olds (up to day before their 19th birthday).
- Up to three passengers under the age of 16 accompanied by an adult (including adults using concessionary pass) travel free.
- The All York Young Person’s Day ticket has been extended to include 17-18 year olds and is £2.50, valid at all times of day on any bus in the boundaries of City of York Council.
