York’s Voice for Bus Users
Welcome to the website of York Bus Forum – the voice of bus users and potential users in and around York.
Our aim is “to get York people where they want to be, when they want to be there, in a manner that is reliable, comfortable and efficient”.
The Forum started with a public meeting in April 2016, when the City of York Council were trying to cut evening and Sunday bus services. The meeting was attended by 50+ people and eventually we were able to reduce the number of cuts. We have since established ourselves as a recognised stakeholder with the Council and have a good working relationship with their transport team and with bus operators. The Forum celebrated three years of working for bus users in April 2019 and a special cake was cut by our chair, Ray Walker and Councillor Andy D’Agorne, Deputy Leader of the Council and Executive Member for Transport.
Please come and join us!
We provide a channel for bus users to make their voice heard with the decision makers and the opportunity to find out about future proposed changes. Find out more about us and become a member today!
We hold regular meetings and events and document these to maintain and share our transparency as a public forum. You can download our meeting agendas. minutes and presentations by visiting the link below.
We have established ourselves as the voice for bus users in York, working with the Council’s Transport Team. Five Parish Councils are now affiliated to the Forum and we are keen to encourage more to join us – it’s only £10 a year. Read about our latest news and updates here.
