Emergency bus timetables introduced in Leeds from Monday in response to coronavirus pandemic

The services are changing to ensure key workers and those who need to access shops and services can get where they need to go.

Older people and those with disabilities who are using concessionary travel passes can also now use them all day.

First Bus

First Bus, who operate the majority of services in Leeds, will be operating on a Saturday timetable.

The company said that this is due to customer demand.

A statement on the website said: "With many people now being told not to go to work, not to socialise and to avoid using public transport we’re reviewing our service levels in line with customer demand.

"We have moved to a Saturday service timetable as we’ve seen a significant drop in the number of customers on our buses in the last week and we expect to see it drop even further as tighter controls are places upon the public.

"That said we still understand there is a need for our services, to help key workers and members of the community who rely on buses. Which is why we still have many buses running across the network. The proposed Saturday service with School buses is only a 12% reduction of a standard Monday to Friday service.

"If there any key workers not able to get to work due to the changes, please let us know and we can look to try and make amendments."
