Mr Hexagon, Beesafe and A2Bee were just some of the names school children across York submitted as part of City of York Council’s competition to name the i-Travel mascot.

As part of the on going promotion of the i-Travel York programme, funded through a Local Sustainable Transport Fund government grant, primary school children were invited to name the mascot who had previously only been known as the i-Travel York bee.

Out of the many entries received, Yorbee was chosen by both Grace Robinson, aged 7 and in year 2 and Isobel Wright, aged 9 and in year 4 at Clifton With Rawcliffe Primary School.

In her competition entry Isobel wrote that she chose the name because: “He is a bee from York and he is your bee because he helps you.”

Next week, Yorbee will be present Isobel and Grace with a prize for submitting the winning name.
