West Yorkshire Combined Authority funding Boxing Day bus services

    Once again, West Yorkshire Combined Authority will be funding Boxing Day bus services this Christmas.

    Buses will be running on almost 90 routes, every half hour between 9am and 6pm on main West Yorkshire routes to city and town centres, retail locations and hospitals.

    West Yorkshire Combined Authority Transport Committee Chair Councillor Keith Wakefield said: "This is the ninth year we have funded bus services, which last Boxing Day local people used to make 55,000 journeys." 

    "By funding these services to provide people with transport to the main areas where shops will be open on Boxing Day, the Combined Authority is supporting the local economy and jobs, as well as enabling people to meet family and friends, visit people in hospital and enjoy events like the Wetherby races."
