JustGo North Lincs is an on-demand bus service operating for people travelling in North Lincolnshire. Passengers book and pay directly from their smartphone through the JustGo North Lincs mobile app and, using the latest technology, track the bus in real-time to the meeting point of choice.
JustGo is a fast and low-cost way to connect people to places around North Lincolnshire, or in and out of Scunthorpe, with prices from just £2.50 for a single trip and discounts for children. Rides can be booked four weeks in advance up until the day of travel through the app or by telephone, and are provided by North Lincolnshire Council in partnership with East Yorkshire, part of the Go-Ahead Group.
JustGo operates across North Lincolnshire and provides reliable travel options for people wanting to travel around the area, where there are no regular bus services.
Passengers can use JustGo within North Lincolnshire, but we encourage the use of existing bus services where available for a regular, sometimes quicker, journey.
As there are many regular buses in and around Scunthorpe, JustGo cannot be used to travel between two meeting points in the area shown on the zone map. Passengers are welcome to travel into and out of this area where there is no regular bus service.
There are some other areas where bookings cannot be made because they follow the route of a regular bus service. If you are travelling from these areas to a place where a regular bus does not travel, you will still be able to book. These areas are shown when booking and are between Ulceby and Barton-upon-Humber, Barton-upon-Humber and Scunthorpe, Brigg and Scunthorpe, and Messingham and Scunthorpe. View the zone map.

Yes, you can block book repeat rides for up to 7 days at a time.
A meeting point is like a virtual bus stop and is a short walk from where you want to be picked up, usually just a few minutes away. This may be a common meeting point for multiple pick-ups in busy areas, so there may be others at the same meeting point. There are hundreds of meeting points across North Lincolnshire and most of these are not marked bus stops.
JustGo only operates within the area shown, serving North Lincolnshire. If you want to travel within this area but live outside, we suggest you make personal travel arrangements to reach your closest meeting point within the operating zone.
If a meeting point doesn’t look suitable, get in touch so we can investigate. This could be if it is too far to walk from your home or it is inaccessible for a bus and we will see if we can change the meeting point.
The JustGo North Lincs app will suggest earlier and later time options for you to travel. If you’re booking by telephone, we’ll offer alternatives.
You can book up to seven seats per trip, subject to availability on board.
Yes. When booking a ride, you will immediately receive a booking confirmation within the app, with an estimated pick up and drop off time. This time may vary slightly, within a few minutes either side of the estimated time. Your final pickup time will be confirmed through the app, and by text message, 30 minutes prior to the pickup time. Telephone bookings will receive a text or email to confirm this same information, if these contact details are provided.
Yes. You will automatically receive your receipt by email when you make payment.
When you receive your ride confirmation, you will be informed of your ride’s bus identity in the form of a letter A-H - this letter will be clearly displayed on the front of the bus when it arrives at your meeting point. Your ride confirmation will also give the name of your driver, and they will check your booking details when you board for peace of mind.
You can cancel your ride through the JustGo North Lincs app or by calling us. If you cancel more than 24 hours ahead of your allocated pick up time, you will be refunded in full. If you cancel within 24 hours of your ride, you will not be refunded.
We ask all passengers no longer intending to travel to cancel their ride as soon as possible, to help other passengers have a quicker ride.
Not showing up for your ride at the time allocated will delay the ride for other passengers and may mean they get to their destination late. We understand circumstances can change, so we offer free cancellations up to two hours before the allocated pick up time. Passengers who do not show up or are late will be charged in full. Frequent cancellations or not showing up for bookings may result in your account being suspended.
We will make every effort to be at your meeting point on time but occasionally circumstances out of our control may cause a delay. You can use the app to keep updated on the bus arrival time.
JustGo uses a pricing structure based on the distance between your meeting point and destination. This is displayed when booking on the JustGo North Lincs app or given when booking over the phone. Fares start from £2.50 for single adult rides with child prices for under 16s.
Concessionary pass holders travel free – register your concessionary pass in the JustGo North Lincs app then book as normal or book by calling 01482 381 710.

Yes, children can travel on board, and booster seats are available for smaller children. Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by a passenger 13 years or above. Children 10 years or older can travel independently. If children are travelling on their own, we recommend an app booking is made on the device they will be travelling with to ensure they receive notifications about the trip, however a person must be at least 13 years of age to be a registered user of the JustGo North Lincs app.
Yes, an adult can book a trip for their children using the app or hotline. This can be by booking a trip with your child as a companion (if you plan to travel with your child), or you can book on behalf of a child (when you don't intend to travel with them) assuming they meet the minimum age requirement. While not mandatory, we do recommend the child carries the mobile device and app with them, in order to receive notifications and updates about their ride.
Yes, though we would kindly ask all of our customers to keep the dedicated wheelchair space free, which means we may ask you to fold and store your buggy or pram on some occasions. We want to ensure our services are as inclusive as possible and we appreciate your assistance in permitting those with wheelchairs, prams and buggies to use our buses. We also ask that gangways are kept clear.
No, due to limited space on board we cannot carry bikes, e-scooters or mobility scooters. If you're travelling into Scunthorpe, why not take advantage of Shopmobility, North Lincolnshire Council's wheelchair and mobility scooter hire service? It's free to use (donations are welcome) for anyone with a mobility problem and is based in Scunthorpe bus station. Full details, including registering in advance, are on the North Lincolnshire Council website.
Passenger feedback helps us improve your service, so we ask for feedback at various stages when using the JustGo North Lincs app. You can also give specific feedback on the “About” page in the app, which sends feedback to us by email. After you complete a trip, you will be prompted through the app to give a ride rating (one to five stars) to help us have an overview of ride satisfaction.
We can also take feedback by telephone, email, live chat or on our social channels – see Contact Us.
We encourage you to carefully check you have all your personal belongings upon arrival at your destination. However, if you have left something on board, please get in touch via email or telephone – see Contact Us. We’ll then try and reunite you with your lost item as soon as possible.
JustGo North Lincs' goal is to provide everyone with the best and most equal service possible. We understand that sometimes unexpected things can happen which require you to cancel a ride, and we refund passengers who cancel up to 24 hours before the allocated time. However, frequent cancelling or not showing up for bookings may result in your account being suspended, as this may mean other passengers may miss out on the service.
