Major changes for West Yorkshire buses from 2027
March 14, 2024
The decision will put buses under West Yorkshire Combined Authority control through a franchise system where the authority sets routes, frequencies, fares and standards. The mayor's decision follows a three-month public consultation.
Franchising will be introduced in phases with the first franchised buses in parts of Leeds, Kirklees and Wakefield districts in March 2027. Until then, the authority will be continuing its Bus Service Improvement Plan which has achieved some improvements with the county's many private operators and the introduction of £2 Mayor’s Fares across all services in West Yorkshire.
