We are excited to announce a new role for a Bus Network Planner to join our Franchising Network team within the wider Bus Franchising Directorate. This is an incredible opportunity for you to contribute to the delivery of the mayor’s pledge to bring buses back under public control, introduce simpler fares, contactless ticketing, and greener buses. As part of the team, you will play a key role in West Yorkshire’s bus reform at a pivotal time, as the region transitions to a franchised bus network under local control.
As Bus Network Planner, you will provide guidance on bus services, supporting strategic projects and collaborating with key internal and external stakeholders to ensure optimal solutions are achieved.

You will develop timetables and provide estimating costs, resource requirements, and projected revenues for new and revised bus services, ensuring that the organisation is receiving value for money from operators.
Bring your expertise in public transport systems and your passion to be a part of something different to a role where you can make a real impact! As a Bus Network Planner at the Combined Authority, you will have the opportunity to help shape the future of public transportation in West Yorkshire.
