BUS passengers across West Yorkshire have now scanned QR codes and NFC tags at stops across the district two million times.
These allow people to access real time information about when their bus will arrive.
A bus stop on Thornton Road was Bradford's most scanned.
Councillor Kim Groves Chair of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority Transport Committee said: “Our aim is to make public transport more attractive and easier to use and with 2,000,000 scans now made, QR Codes and NFC Tags are making a significant contribution to achieving this.
"These and other measures to make bus travel more convenient and more affordable, including West Yorkshire’s money-saving Mcard travel smartcards, encourage more people to catch the bus and that helps reduce congestion and its negative effect on our economy and the quality of our air.”
Further information about how to use QR Codes and NFC tags can be found on the Metro travel information website.
