Retain and improve First Leeds bus services 33 & 34
First West Yorkshire are planning to reduce the 33 and 34 bus routes, which are vital for keeping our communities connected.
Therefore, we ask First West Yorkshire to:
Reconsider the plans for cuts to these vital services
Properly resource these routes wiith drivers and buses
Produce a realistic, workable timetable and stick to it
Esure that timetables and staffing allow each bus to run its full route as far as possible
Use effective tracking systems and provide accurate information to passengers
Report any delays or other issues honestly
Offer customer services 7 days as week, answering passenger questions, providing information, genuine responses and compensation when appropriate.

Why is this important?
Cutting these services means long waiting times where there is no alternative service, or when a service is – as happens all too often – cancelled.
The 33 and 34 routes serve a number of areas with no rail service and are the only public transport option available to many residents.
Bus users find it hard to rely on the current service for timely access to school, work or important appointments and a reduced service would only serve to worsen this and may reduce bus use as a result.
