YorBus, the pilot scheme to run a flexible, on-demand bus service connecting Ripon, Masham and Bedale is ending on 30 June 2023.
The pilot was originally intended to run for a 12-month period from July 2021 to help us gather information about the costs and benefits of running a digital demand responsive bus service. Last year the scheme was extended for a further 12 months which allowed time to explore some other ways to deliver the service, such as a pre-booking facility.
Drivers and vehicles are being reallocated to their own in house scheduled bus service operations.
