Picture this: you buy a ticket which gives you access to trams, buses and trains for any one of nine zones across your city. You’re given live updates about services, and timetables are planned so that you can step off a tram and straight on to a bus, connecting you to areas out of the network’s reach.
It sounds like the kind of modern, efficient mass transit system you might expect from a major European capital, like London, Paris or Lisbon. But this is the reality for people living a few miles south of us in Nottingham. West Yorkshire – home to 2.4 million people – is the fourth largest urban area in the UK, yet our communities remain at the mercy of a patchy, unreliable public transport network to get around. This situation cannot be allowed to continue.
Combined with our plans for a better integrated bus network and new walking and cycling routes, as well as hundreds of new electric bikes, we want to build seamless travel options across West Yorkshire. I want to see opportunities spread more equally across the region. Our mass transit system will improve transport for up to 675,000 people within the top 20 per cent most deprived communities within West Yorkshire.
