Coronavirus Update Close

In line with the latest government guidance, we've put in place further measures in England to help customers practice social distancing. This includes limiting the available seats on buses.

Face coverings are compulsory when using public transport in England and Scotland. In Wales it is compulsory to wear a three layer face covering on public transport. It is also now compulsory to wear face coverings when using indoor public transport hubs in England only.

The safety of our customers and employees is our priority, so please avoid busy times, use contactless payment and take your litter with you. For up to date information see our Coronavirus page

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
