Between Saturday 1 and Monday 31 August 2026, every child aged five to 15, boarding a bus in East Yorkshire, will travel for free, while anyone aged 16-to-19 will travel at half price by simply asking for a ‘Mayor’s Fares’ ticket. No registration or travel card is required; children can simply board Stagecoach East Midlands and East Yorkshire buses at no cost, with a £1.50 single or £3 return the most an under 20 will pay when boarding an East Yorkshire or Stagecoach East Midlands bus in the HEYCA region.
Any parent, carer or guardian over the age of 20 will also pay no more than £3 for a single journey because of the current Government fare cap.

The historic Guildhall Time Ball is set to return to the city’s skyline more than a year after being taken down for repairs. The Time Ball, originally used as a navigational aid for shipping, was removed on July 13 last year after breaking down. Lowgate outside the Guildhall is scheduled to close from 8am to 4pm on August 1 – to motorists and pedestrians – to allow this to happen safely, as a 48‑tonne crane and hoist will be used to install the #TimeBall.
It had been brought back into working order for the first time in 100 years in June 2023 after the city council secured a £281,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to restore it. It stopped working just weeks later after a mechanical fault but was fixed and working again until a further breakdown on March 27, 2025.
After being repaired, for a third time, by specialist contractor Smith of Derby the Time Ball will be returned to its unique vantage point above the Guildhall on Saturday, August 1. The contractor is covering the cost of the repair, which is described as an intermittent fault. #HULL
