FlexiBus East Leeds is the first Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) service in the region
that are external to the zone. Coun Peter Carlill, deputy chair of the transport committee of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, said: “To see this service providing valuable support to the daily lives of people in the community is really satisfying. We are pleased with the progress being made as more customers discover its benefits.
“The evidence we are gathering from this trial will be important as we look to other areas in Leeds and the wider region where a DRT service could be introduced. Travel behaviour has altered since the pandemic and understanding how this type of bus service can meet our aspirations to grow the network and provide the connectivity West Yorkshire needs will inform future discussions.”FlexiBus drivers Russ and Sarah with Will Pearson, Coun Carlill and Samantha Haggart.
