Bus ticket prices are going up in Leeds again - this is by how much

First Bus are hiking the price of tickets for passengers in Leeds, with the changes coming into effect from this weekend.

A year on from the last price increase, more marginal changes are on their way that will affect thousands of passengers on a daily basis.

For example, a FirstDay Leeds ticket - known to many as a day rider - will increase in price by 30p from £4.30 to £4.60 when bought via the First Bus app. A weekly pass for Leeds will rise too, from £15.50 to £17.

The changes will also affect those making journeys beyond Leeds.

A FirstDay West Yorkshire ticket will increase by 20p, while a weekly pass will cost £1.50 more when bought via the app.

The changes come into effect from Sunday, October 27.

Ticket Current price New price (from Sunday, October 27)
FirstDay Leeds (app) £4.30 £4.60
FirstDay Leeds (on bus) £4.50 £4.70
FirstWeek Leeds (app) £15.50 £17
FirstWeek Leeds (on bus) £17 £18
FirstDay West Yorkshire (app) £4.90 £5.10
FirstDay West Yorkshire (on bus) £5 £5.20
FirstWeek West Yorkshire (app) £21 £22.50
FirstWeek West Yorkshire (on bus) £22 £23
FirstWeek Young Person Under 19 (app) £8.30 £8.20
FirstWeek Young Person Under 19 (on bus) £8.40 £8.40

It's not all bad news though, with a few tickets actually decreasing in price.

A weekly pass for passengers under the age of 19 used to cost £8.30 on the First Bus app, but that will soon drop to £8.20.

The changes come as major construction projects get underway to overhaul bus travel in Leeds.

The Headrow will be closed for a year to make drastic alterations, while outline plans have also been earmarked for the streets around the Corn Exchange.

Leeds bus station could soon look completely different too, with a number of big changes suggested.
