Contactless payments have been introduced on the Transdev operator’s 36 service, which runs between Leeds, Harrogate and Ripon.

The 36 is one of the first bus services outside London to offer the contactless option to its passengers.

Transdev chief executive Alex Hornby said: “We want to make getting on board the bus as easy as possible, and bringing contactless payment to the 36 for our current and potential users is a no brainer. This is all about making the 36 experience as effortless and as easy as possible, and ensuring we don’t rest on our laurels even with the sector-leading standards we already offer on our highly specified buses between Leeds, Harrogate and Ripon.

“Once we have established the success of contactless on the 36, we will of course look to extend this further on other Transdev routes.”

The 36 runs every 15 minutes, with its vehicles offering free wi-fi plus leather coach-style seating.
