Matt Kitchin, managing director of Stagecoach Yorkshire, said: “At Stagecoach, our motto is that ‘we’ve got you’, and that is never more important than at half-term, when so many parents rely on their local bus to get out and about, to keep the family entertained.
“Whether it’s the park, the bowling alley, the cinema or any of our more unusual suggestions, leave the car at home, sit back, relax and let us take you there and back, for less.”
