Coronavirus Update Close

We all need to do whatever we can to protect each other from Coronavirus, so in line with the latest government guidance, there are measures in place to help you to travel with confidence, including limiting available seats on buses and enhanced cleaning. Unless you’re exempt, you must wear a face covering when using public transport, throughout your journey. Please avoid busy times, use contactless payment where you can and take your litter with you. For up to date information see our Coronavirus page.

There are temporary timetables in Wales between 25 October and 9 November due to a two-week Welsh Government lockdown.

Tees Flex

  

Welcome to Tees Flex!

Your on-demand bus service now available in Tees Valley.


Another day at the office? Heading into sixth form? A spot of retail therapy or enjoying a coffee with friends?

Demand Responsive Transport   has arrived!


​Tees Flex - your bus, your way...

Brought to you by Stagecoach in partnership with the Tees Valley Mayor  and  Combined Authority.

 

How does Demand Responsive Transport work?

Using the all-new Tees Flex app (iOS and Android), customers can hail a vehicle directly from their smartphone. The app's clever algorithms enable multiple passengers to seamlessly share the vehicle.

The technology directs passengers to a nearby 'virtual bus stop' (within a short walking distance) for their pick-up and drop-off points, allowing for quick and efficient shared trips - without lengthy detours, taking customers where they like, when they like!


Your journey begins with the Tees Flex app!

  1. Download the Tees Flex app now!
  2. Create your account
  3. Register your credit or debit card, or pay via PayPal

 

All set-up? You're ready to go!

  • Step 1 - Select your pick-up point from one of the ‘virtual bus stops’ - whichever is closest to you!
  • Step 2 - Choose your desired destination
  • Step 3 - Select   the   time   that's   best   for   you!
  • Step 4 - Your Tees Flex bus will be with you in a flash
