Contactless payment certainly makes life a little easier and First York is now introducing this method to their services. When boarding and exiting buses across the city, commuters can now use their contactless cards or smartphones to streamline travel.
This isn’t the only recent change to First York services, however. The travel organisation has recently reconsidered the prices of their tickets in order to reflect the new travel routines of passengers following the pandemic. With the exception of special concession rates, most of the ticket prices have risen to reflect the rise of increased business costs. On-bus day tickets have since made a 20p increase, whilst three-day tickets have risen by 50p, and five-day tickets by 70p.
Despite this change, however, First York is being mindful to strike the balance between competing
with the rising living costs to sustain their services, whilst also trying to encourage passengers and local commuters back onto bus routes following the disruption of the pandemic.
