Bus services: CT Plus and Powell's to close with loss of 33 services
Two bus companies are to close, leaving thousands of people without local services in West and South Yorkshire.
HCT Group cited rising fuel and labour costs as well as the pandemic as the reasons for the decision. "We are now talking to commissioners across Yorkshire, seeing if we can transfer as many services as possible to new operators." "Bus patronage hasn't risen as quickly as we'd like after the pandemic, which is why I and others have been calling on government to extend its Bus Recovery Grant beyond October," she said.
Katie Howson, 32, lives in Pudsey and fears losing the 81 service will leave her having to pay up to £20 a day in taxi fares. She added: "Last year there was a lot of issues with it not turning up, then we got letters to say it would be improving.
