Cuts in bus funding planned for later this year will “decimate” West Yorkshire’s bus network – according to the region’s mayor who has teamed up with South Yorkshire Mayor and other Northern politicians to demand support from the government.
During the Covid pandemic, and plummeting passenger numbers, bus services across the country were kept afloat thanks to tens of millions of pounds in Government grants.
Bus patronage has yet to return to pre-pandemic levels, but Government support is expected to end in October.
