A consultation asking members of the public how West Yorkshire’s bus services should be run has officially launched.
Bus users across the region are being encouraged to have their say as part of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s plans for better buses across the region, which subject to the outcome of the consultation and a final decision by Mayor Tracy Brabin, could result in bus services in West Yorkshire being brought back under public control. The consultation runs until January 7, with people able to have their say at numerous drop-in sessions, online at www.yourvoice.westyorks-ca.gov.
” The regional network has been hammered by waves of network cuts and changes since the Covid-19 pandemic, with bus companies blaming falling passenger numbers and funding uncertainty. Currently, bus routes, timetables, and fares, are mainly set by the private bus operators, which has led to inconsistent standards.
