Extra Boxing Day bus services to keep West Yorkshire moving this festive season

As in previous years, buses will run on selected routes across West Yorkshire, from 9am and 6pm on Friday 26 December.

Services will run up to every 30 minutes, in and out of main town and city centres, hospitals and shopping centres.

The Mayor’s Fares mean single tickets will be a maximum of £2.50, and all MCards, Senior, Disabled and Blind Person’s passes will be valid, as will individual bus operator season tickets.

Passengers planning on making three or more journeys on Boxing Day can buy an MCard DaySaver for £6 and save even more.

The services are run using funds from West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Bus Service Improvement Plan.

 Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire said:

“We all love the festive period, and Boxing Day is often a time for people to visit loved ones, hit the sales or go to sporting fixtures, while others need to be back at work.

“That's why we’re funding vital bus services to keep West Yorkshire moving, helping people get to where they need to be.

“This shows our commitment to creating a greener, better-connected region that works for all.”
