The West Yorkshire Combined Authority believes it needs to change the way local buses are run to achieve its ambitions for better buses in West Yorkshire.
Buses play a vital role in West Yorkshire, getting people to places, connecting our communities, and shaping our economy. But evidence shows passengers face many challenges resulting in poor satisfaction and fewer people choosing to travel by bus.
The way that buses are currently run gives the Combined Authority limited ability to change this. The Combined Authority thinks that franchising is the best way achieve the change needed, and they would like your views on what they are proposing.
The consultation runs until 7 January 2024.
