Please note: This page relates to the public engagement on the Leeds Core Bus Network, which took place in Summer 2020. For up to date information and to find out more about the Leeds Core Bus Network, visit wymetro.com/leedscorenetwork
Background
We want to make it easier to plan and take bus journeys by creating a user-friendly and accessible set of maps and new colour coded bus stop flags, shelters and other on-street infrastructure that link to bus lines across the city.
These improvements are planned on the core bus network for stops with services that run at least every 15 minutes or serve key destinations.
As part of the engagement, we created a trial bus stop in the city centre to demonstrate the proposals.
Why are we doing this?
This project aims to:
Address the current challenges people face when trying to plan and get around using the bus network in Leeds.
Help people who are both familiar and unfamiliar with the core bus network to get around more easily.
Encourage more people to use the bus as they will be able to plan their routes and journeys more easily.
What are the benefits?
This scheme has the potential to:
Encourage more people to travel by bus
Provide benefits to the economy by enabling people to travel to work, education, shops and other local services more easily
Provide social benefits including improvements to people's health and reductions in social isolation
The project is part of a series of transport improvements planned within the Connecting Leeds programme. Once the Leeds network is complete, the scheme will be rolled out across the rest of West Yorkshire, subject to further funding being secured.
Public Engagement
Between 15 and 31 July, we held a period of public engagement to gather the views of local residents and businesses on our plans to improve information available to plan journeys and use the bus system in and out of Leeds.
All feedback received during the engagement has been analysed and used to develop the scheme.
We have now published an outcome report, outlining the feedback we received, and a 'You said, we did' document, which highlights how the feedback was used to inform the scheme. You can access both reports in the documents section.
Next steps
Following the engagement exercise, construction of the new bus stop information began in early December 2020 and will continue to be rolled out in phases throughout 2021.

The Leeds Bus Core Network project aims to address the current challenges passengers face when trying to plan their bus journeys and navigate the existing bus network in Leeds. We want to help people who are both familiar and unfamiliar with the network of frequent buses to get around more easily. We hope to encourage more people to use the buses as they will be able to plan their routes and journeys more easily. We would like to know your thoughts on the proposals in this short survey.
The responses will be collected and processed by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018. The data collected will be held only for the duration of the engagement phase of the project. Please view our privacy notice here.
