Customers can call a taxi and claim the cost back from the bus company if their last bus doesn't arrive within 20 minutes of the scheduled time.

This applies to all three major bus companies that operate in Leeds - First, Arriva and Transdev.

However, people will need to make sure they ask the taxi driver for a receipt in order to claim it back and make sure they mention Bus18.

The Bus18 Initiative also promises that anyone who isn't happy with their bus journey can claim a free travel voucher.

Travellers have to contact the bus operator to ask for the free journey voucher by mentioning Bus18 and the voucher can then be used on a future date.
