It's absolutely freezing outside but that's not the only thing that's freezing! We're freezing our fares until 30th March!

Whilst the Fare Cap has increased in some districts, we are keeping our fares at current rates for now. After this period, and when a new Fare Cap is introduced in West Yorkshire, we will be introducing a new simple fare structure across our network.

From Monday 31st March we will continue to be part of Fare Cap schemes in every district with many fares set lower than the cap. 'Fair's Fare!' - we want bus travel to be affordable!

Christmas came a little early for our customers aboard the Meltham Circular 933 service. We held a Christmas carol karaoke sing along with the passengers! A lovely idea thought of by Gerald Beer who attends the Meltham Singing Group.
In attendance was the Mayor of Meltham David Haigh who expertly drove the bus all day. Resident DJ, and all round entertainer, was the lovely Julie Boothroyd. A lovely day was had by all who travelled throughout the day.

Big thanks to Wayne Barrett, David Haigh, Julie Boothroyd, Gerald Beer and of course all our wonderful passengers who made the day so special.
