“There’s been a lot of officials trying to work out what it is. Everyone’s been complaining about it. Even bus drivers.”
A spokesperson for West Yorkshire Combined Authority said: "Providing high quality facilities for passengers is vital to encourage more people on to public transport as part of our aim to create a greener, better-connected region.
"We would therefore like to apologise for odour issues experienced at Leeds Bus Station and thank members of the public for their patience as our team works with partners and contractors to investigate the problem.
