From keighleybus, harrogatebus, yorkbus web sites:-
Paying for your tickets on board has never been easier. Contactless is coming to all of our buses this weekend.
You'll be able to use your contactless bank card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay to buy tickets on all Harrogate Bus Company, Keighley Bus Company, Coastliner and York & Country buses from Sunday 25 March.
Here's a few of your most common questions about contactless, answered.
What is contactless?
Contactless is a quick, secure and easy way to pay without needing cash.
Who can pay with contactless?
You can use contactless if you have a bank or credit card with the contactless logo, or you have a phone which supports Apple Pay or Google Pay. Most new cards now include contactless as standard.
How does it work?
Simply ask your driver for your usual ticket, tap your contactless card or phone on the reader, take your ticket and take a seat!
What tickets can I buy with contactless?
You can buy any of our single, return, day, weekly and other tickets on board, up to the value of £30.

Assume it's connected that there is no real time information on any Transdev Keighley buses today.
Have to say real time is more useful if it's a trade off.
Also lots of new passengers on Aireline this morning due to the rail strike today and Keighley's Twitter feed has been promising them live bus times if they download the app, not a great first impression

Have to say real time is more useful if it's a trade off It's not in the sense that the new machines will also be real-time enabled so can and will be providing the same information but as in most cases where you are switching between systems there is often a lag between one coming off and the new feed being accepted and will affect different feeds & systems differently (the feed to the app will be separate to the feed to roadside displays for instance as they are provided by different organisations) particularly where third parties systems (such as council roadside displays) are involved.

RTI is working on the Transdev Go app, as I type this a 62 to Keighley is due at Burley in 38 minutes. Hoping the change will resolve the RTI displays in Harrogate showing the bus station as the destination on outbound 2A/2B/3/6 services.

I'm using the App but I still only have timetabled information on both Aireline and 36 stops in Leeds city centre. It was working on Friday.

Hoping the change will resolve the RTI displays in Harrogate showing the bus station as the destination on outbound 2A/2B/3/6 services. That is a simple data entry exercise to correct and could be sorted by the operator at any time, it is a common problem with circular services as unless the system is told otherwise it uses the end point as the destination, they simply need to set an intermediate destination for the outbound portion.
