I've just tried to plan a journey using the planner and in the image below, you can see where you can and can't travel to from the R&C zone. 

Apart from the obvious R&C zone, you can travel to/from outlying areas such as James Cook, Nunthorpe, Lazenby, Wilton, a strip of Redcar, New Marske and Marske and Saltburn. 

Thanks for that wasn't actually aware of that. It'd be much better if they scrapped the zones and you could book a bus to well anywhere in Tees Valley.

Then again I still think it's the wrong people operating it, it should be sold more as a taxi imo as some form of inbetween mode of transport. I'm surprised one of the taxi firms haven't attempted it yet.

They'd be ideal at night when you have 20 people all travelling towards to Coast at 3am, get one minibus. Get everyone on board for say £3 each, and drop everyone off respectively with the one bus/taxi. It's better than what happens now when you wait an hour as there's no taxis and they're all dead running from the Coast as that's where everyone is going. I'd personally 100% use them. There's already enough buses lingering around like the W1, W2, K2, 335 etc which could instantly be moved to it or in the case for Teesside the Tees Flex buses.
