The County Council say no decision has been taken over the future of Whitby's 840 Coastliner Service.
The future of Whitby's Coastliner Service remains uncertain.
The service from Leeds to Whitby was named Britain's most Scenic Bus route in 2018 but is now under review by operator Tansdev who say the route between Malton and Whitby won't be commercial viable after April.
North Yorkshire County Council's executive Member for transport - Councillor Keane Duncan - says they are looking at the options.
The 840 serves Pickering, Thornton-le-Dale, Goathland and Whitby
Currently the service is subsidised during the winter months and Councillor Keane Duncan has hinted that extending that subsidy might be an option.
Speaking in December Coastliner General Manager Kel Pizzuti said:
"As with all bus operators across the country, we are responding to challenges including recovering customer numbers following the pandemic and the decline in government funding. In common with all businesses, we are also responding to rising operating costs, including fuel, wages, energy and engineering materials.
"We currently provide part of our 840 route between Malton and Whitby under contract to North Yorkshire County Council which will remain in place until April 2023.
"We are reviewing future arrangements for this section of the route with the County Council, and in partnership with them, we will update customers once the review is complete."
