First York will be at the centre with giveaways speaking to visitors of Monks Cross about their transport choices into the area and make them aware that they can catch the Park & Ride from the site at a lower cost than most city centre parking and take a stress free journey into York and back. We’re also promoting the fact that the bus runs into the centre late into the evening and circulates Monks Cross shops.
In partnership with First York, we’re running a ‘TAG your travel buddy’ competition.
Just tag us and First York in your pictures with your travel buddy before 30th June 2019 and you could win 1 of 5 free adult weekly travel passes to use on all First buses across York.
*prize only available on the First Bus App
Good Luck ?
