Bus firms add more capacity for customers
New safety measures will protect commuters
Our buses are clean and safe – and ready to go – if you need us, we’re here.
That’s the message from Yorkshire bus operators Coastliner, Cityzap and York and Country, as they prepare to introduce additional capacity to many of their routes – providing more buses and extra space for customers and colleagues while ensuring effective social distancing continues.
As Government restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic begin to ease, the three bus operators are also releasing a series of easy-tofollow messages to their customers, including key workers and those making journeys to access essential services who’ve relied on their bus services throughout the pandemic, as well as those who haven’t travelled since the current situation began.
Timetables on many Coastliner and York and Country bus services have now been revised, with additional journeys and extra buses in place at busy times, to allow more room for social distancing.
The popular Cityzap express service between York and Leeds will also return as more people go back to work in both cities, with journeys running to a special timetable.
Coastliner, Cityzap and York and Country CEO Alex Hornby said: “An immense amount of work is going on every day behind the scenes to make sure our buses are safe for everyone to use.
“We’re constantly monitoring customer numbers and adding in extra buses wherever we see journeys becoming busier, so everyone can space out and to enable effective social distancing.”
