Gillygate reopened at 9.10am after the crash at 6.15 this morning (Friday, October 18).
As The Press reported, the crash closed the road between Bootham and Lord Mayor's Walk so the single-decker electric First bus could be recovered.
North Yorkshire Police said there were no injuries.
"Gillygate reopened at 9.10am to allow the recovery of a bus," a force spokesperson said. "The minor, non-injury collision also involved a cyclist at around 6.15am."
Photographs from the scene show the windscreen of the bus smashed and the bonnet of the van open at the Bootham end of the street.
The van is believed to belong to Simon Baynes Wholesale.
A company spokesperson wrote on Facebook: "Just a quick update, a bus has hit us head on in Gillygate this morning, drivers are ok, just waiting for recovery to bring the van back to depot, problem is it’s full of orders so they might be slightly late this morning, sorry for the inconvenience."
