A top transport consultant – and former Sheriff of York – has devised an integrated public transport plan for the whole of York and North Yorkshire that he believes could transform the way we get around the region.

Thursday, 8 February 2024 15:52

By Stephen Lewis

Jonathan Tyler’s proposals - produced with the help of Swiss transport-planning software - call for:

integrated bus and train operations planned as a whole network across the region
frequent services on key urban and inter-urban routes from early morning until late evening, every day of the week
supplementary services for every neighbourhood and village closely coordinated with the key routes
connectivity between trains and buses
high standards of reliability and punctuality, helped by widespread bus priority measures in urban areas
a simple system of good-value fares and concessions.
