BUS operators in York are using a bus ticketing app which lets users make cashless ticket purchases and track buses in real-time. The city's three independent bus operators, Reliance Motor Services, York Pullman and Connexionsbuses, are now using myTrip. Reliance Motor Services operate 18 buses across a wide network around York and North Yorkshire, and said the news was ‘a real bonus' for passengers in York. York Pullman carries more one million passengers annually and Connexionsbuses operate 35 buses on a mixed network of schools and commercial services in North and West Yorkshire. myTrip was launched in September 2020 in response to Covid-19 and how it had impacted on operators and users. It was designed especially for smaller operators, and is an affordable way for operators to offer cashless and contact-free ticketing, live bus tracking and fulfil BODS (Bus Open Data Service) regulations.
